From: Tor Bechmann Yamamoto-Sorensen Date: 2011-10-19T13:44:27+09:00 Subject: Re: Announcing Ruby-related content on minituku.net Thank You very much for the input! We considered both transliterations (Hepburn and Kunrei) and decided on "Minituku" for the following reasons: * Both transliterations are generally accepted as being "correct" * Japanese people are not confused by either transliteration * As for people not familiar with Japanese, it is likely that both transliterations will be pronounced incorrectly ... * ... but we think that "tu" is less likely to confuse the reader than "tsu" * As a subjective assessment, we think that "Minituku" is more catchy and brand-like than "Minitsuku" We probably won't be picking up another domain name, at least not until we have a clearer view of our long term plans for the site. As of now, we can't think of a compelling reason to do so, but please let us know if you think otherwise. --- Tor B. Yamamoto-Sorensen Network Applied Communication Laboratory Ltd.
