OK. I reduced the count by 1, so we don't count 'kid'.

I got the "Expired certificate" errors too, but I've seen Infra
discussing this recently, so I'm rather sure they know.
If you count languages, make sure (for accuracy) to remove "kid" that is
an artificial language we use for KeyIDs and has no native speakers (not
to be confused with a real human language that has ISO code "kid").
The rest of the post looks nice.

Andrea.

I got the "Expired certificate" errors too, but I've seen Infra
discussing this recently, so I'm rather sure they know.
If you count languages, make sure (for accuracy) to remove "kid" that is
an artificial language we use for KeyIDs and has no native speakers (not
to be confused with a real human language that has ISO code "kid").
The rest of the post looks nice.

Andrea.

"Ikebukoro park" -> "Ikebukoro Park"
Aside from that, would it be desirable to mention how any language can be
developed for AOO, even as an independent effort?
