Hi all. I am new to this list. Joined because I heard about the input method integration controversy.
Given that GNOME (and IBus too) is developed by such an international community, people need to know what the people speaking another language may demand in their input methods. A developer may be involved in tools for other people's languages. So if we do not understand each other well, it may result in wrong decisions. Example: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2012-May/msg00174.html This explained the fuzzy pronunciation matching option is necessary for some Chinese IM users just as accessibility is necessary for disabled people. This option should not be removed even if we want the options to be as simple as possible. Ma Xiaojun has made a good start (https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2012-May/msg00232.html) by creating a Wiki page introducing CJK languages and IMs. See https://live.gnome.org/InputCJK However, I would like to make one step further by not making CJK special. I created another Wiki page https://live.gnome.org/Inputting This page is currently quite biased since I am a Chinese. I wish people (not limited to CJK) can introduce how their languages are (or are supposed to be) inputted. Westerners may have insufficient knowledge about interactive CJK IMs, but Chinese people know very little about keyboard layouts, either.
