There is the idea of an "Asian CJK" NL Group gathering Japanese,
Chinese, and Korean  NL projects. But it is a matter of time and

Of course. These groups are never closed, in one sense or another.

Sophie's skills have been instrumental. But it seems that a real sense of the community has helped hold things and people together so far.
