No, *I* will edit it, since *I* am maintaining this page ;-)

Aehm, the "Introduction" states:
	Norbert Preining さんが，ptexlive や TeX Live 2011 への追加日本語パッチ (in e-pTeX wiki) の成果を収めた TeX Live 2011 用の tlptexliveリポジトリを製作されています．

Isn't that clear enough?

ANyway, no harm done. I will add a paragraph warning that this
is not the official repository, and that binaries might not work
on as many combinations as the original binaries.

For me no problem.

No problem, I only need:
dvipdfmx, eptex, makejvf, mendex, pbibtex, pdvitomp, pdvitype, platex, pmpost, ppltotf, ptex, ptftopl, pxdvi, pxdvi-xaw, wovp2ovf, upbibtex, updvitype, uppltotf, uptex, uptftopl.

these ones if you have. The pxdvi probably not, but all other should
be fine.

Best wishes

Norbert
