This is a good point and the consequences have become quite clear the past months. It is not possible to contribute, the developers have little or no knowledge of requirements outside of China and Google Translate creates more amusing than informative release notes. It is great that they create this package - kudos to them - it seems to be of interest and use to many. I'm not gonna send the GPL license through Google translate and wave it in their faces.
What is clear to me, however, is that we should have an open source option for Kindle where people can contribute (ideas, code, knowledge). What options are there for this? Maybe there are no candidates for a complete replacement - just modules? Maybe putting more effort into FBreader is a good idea?
