Dear Admins: I would like to pimp my web project in MPSIMS. It is a site geared toward English-speaking expatriates living in Japan. I want to promote it here at SDMB because the Wiki is in desperate need of seeding with the quality of information and people who frequent SDMB. I know there are some highly knowledgeable Dopers living in Japan as expats, and I crave their participation. I do not believe it overlaps with any SDMB area of interest. In fact, I believe that in the future it may evolve into a reference work that may benefit the SDMB community. ---
