Re:WTF?

There WERE comments, but they were all censored by the Chinese Government!

I did not RTFA

Well, the only article link is in Chinese. Which begs the question now: is Slashdot just a bunch of white guys?

I don't think you can deduce that /. is a bunch of white guys simply because people don't comment on an article that's written in Chinese. You could speculate that most Slashdotters don't speak Chinese, however. You could also base that assumption on the fact that it's an English-language Website.

Re:I did not RTFA

[dougTheRug]

That's a good point. It could also be pointed out that, of the two links provided, I missed the English language one entirely. So, I guess I didn't really read TFP either. Whoops.

Re:I did not RTFA

Also, the first article link is in English.

[Necroist]

Well, how can they free something that originally belongs to them?

Its like asking the President of the United States to give New York away.

maybe they can call it

Chinchilla? :)

Developers

[mparaz]

It's good if they could get more developers onboard and get more open source contributors from China.

Babelfish can handle the Chinese page, by the way.

CLAIRIFICATION

The "press release" is in ENGLISH. The "download page" is in CHINESE.
