The document discusses the Titanium Mobile Users' Group in Japan. It notes that there are 30,000 Titanium developers in Japan, but that Titanium documentation and support are only available in English, providing a barrier for Japanese users. The group was started to address this issue by translating documentation, FAQs, and creating a Japanese language community site and resources to help lower this barrier for Japanese Titanium developers. It encourages others to join and contribute to the group's projects on GitHub to help the Japanese Titanium community.
