Hi Yong, Thanks a whole lot for taking the initiative to port SCIM to Solaris and OpenSolaris. We "should" all benefit from it now that you have succeeded. However, whether or not we as the general public will actually benefit depends, to a large extent, on whether it will be implemented into the os0811 LiveCD. Someone else holds that power! :-) As we all know, nothing is perfect. Our number one priority, for now and for the near future, should be to pursue the most effective path that will attract the most users to the Solaris camp. SCIM at least offers the easiest transition, b/c, as I mentioned previously, this is what everyone else uses especially in the Linux world. IIIMF, OTOH, will simply scare every non-English speaker away. Even I, a self-proclaimed "board certified" hardcore OpenSolaris nut, cannot tolerate IIIMF. Every time I need to use Chinese, I boot into SuSE 11.0. Can someone please try to figure out how we are going to attract anyone who is even less motivated? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
