Please, no reason to get offended - assume well and everything. I'm sure what Owen meant is the following: The group of CJK users who tweak / replace the IM (because the out-of-the-box experience sucks) is small compared to the group of CJK users who don't use free software / GNOME at all (because the out-of-the-box experience sucks). Introducing another level of abstraction ("IM framework framework") may make the first group happy, but it doesn't help the second group at all. Making the out-off-the-box experience not suck on the other hand should benefit *all* CJK users. so is Chinese or CJK Community "a small group" or "second class"? say > that in public in Hong Kong. > Well, according to your own words, GNOME "does not ship what [CJK users] want" - I guess you can call that "second class". The whole idea of integrating IM into the core desktop rather than keeping it as an after-thought is to make CJK users *first* class citizens. So again, please don't feel offended. Regards, Florian
