Hi, Darren, Please see my reply in-line,
Darren J Moffat ??: > What is the motivation for having SCIM as well as the already existing > IIIMF ? Is SCIM the future and IIIMF will be marked as Obsolete and > eventually removed ? SCIM (smart common input method) is a more popular input method framework in Linux distributions (e.g. Fedora, Ubuntu, SuSE etc). Integrating SCIM would make OpenSolaris be more friendly to users migrated from Linux. And we would also provide more choices to users. IIIMF would NOT be obsoleted or removed. > > What does SCIM do that IIIMF does not (and vice versa) ? SCIM is single-user based framework, IIIMF is capable to serve for multiple users cross network, therefore IIIMF has a little complex API and GUI component architecture. > > How does a user know which system they should be using ? It's user's choice, basing on his/her own preferences. For Asian users, I think most users from Linux world may prefer to SCIM. > > -- > Darren J Moffat
