Hello Fellow Writers:
The Fedora Project will be adopting a revolutionary new Input Method
system in the upcoming release of the Fedora Core 2. We would like to
extend an invitation at this time to East Asian users to test this
preliminary release and provide us with feedback so we can improve the
software and ensure that the Input Methods will be easier, more efficient
and pleasant to use.
Intranet/Internet Input Method Framework (IIIMF) is the next generation
Input Method Framework set to replace the legacy X Window System Input
Method (XIM) used by existing Input Methods such as chinput, xcin,
kinput2, ami and many others. As the technology is still at its infancy,
wider testing effort by community is needed to expediate the maturity of
the technology.
The IIIMF server loads Language Engines (LE) dynamically at runtime as
requested by clients. In this first round of testing, four LEs are
available:
+ iiimf-le-inpinyin for Simplified Chinese (zh_CN.UTF-8)
+ iiimf-le-xcin for Traditional Chinese (zh_TW.UTF-8)
+ iiimf-le-canna for Japanese (ja_JP.UTF-8)
+ iiimf-le-hangul for Korean (ko_KR.UTF-8)
If you wish to participate in this first round of testing, a Testing Guide
is now available at
http://apac.redhat.com/iiimftest/testing-guide/. It
will give you the necessary information to set up IIIMF and to use the LE
specific to your locale.
