We hope the situation will improve with openjdk.  Do you have some ideas 
how to improve font configs for current java binaries packages?

I think they could probably go into Fedora if someone is willing to 
package them.  What is the current status of Japanese TeX projects.  Is 
pTeX still actively maintained?

Yes if it helps to have Japanese speakers to do initial (pre)reviews 
then I think it is a good idea if it encourages people to submit 
packages, but the final reviews still need to be done in English in 
bugzilla.

It would be good to have bugzilla translated probably, but I don't know 
of any plans for that.

I don't think we have enough resources to do that in bugzilla.redhat.com 
or within the main fedora project but if some "ambassadors" or mediators 
can help with this it would be useful I think.  They would need to have 
a good working understanding of both sides.

This is a really important issue IMHO: how to improve i18n quality in 
fedora and how to work with Fedora QA on this.  We should open some 
dialogue with the QA team on this I would say and make some plans for 
i18n QA.
