and in English. I think you need more and more information to spread fcitx on the website. I also have not understand the benefit yet.
That's the point. I've installed and used fcitx for a while, but to be honest, I couldn't find its advantages against IBus and felt that it isn't mature enough, at least for now. ATM, it may be good for Chinese, but not so good for Japanese. Marguerite, you say 'SCIM, IBus, gcin ... are old', but 'old' doesn't always mean 'bad'. I think you haven't enough explained yet, what are the advantages of using fcitx and disadvantages of using other IM frameworks except old or new. If you just want to provide much more easy way to select IM framework (not IM engine, here I say...) to users, I don't raise an objection. For example: - fcitx and related packages will be included in install DVD - (ATM) only when users select Chinese language during installation, these packages will be automatically installed (is this technically available?). - in that case, symlink of fcitx will be put in /etc/X11/xim.d/zh_* directories as 30-fcitx ... is this what you want? If yes, Japanese and Korean users won't be affected by the change tentatively, and once they will recognize the benefit of fcitx, they will be easily able to transit from IBus to fcitx. :-) However, one thing we have to remember is, IIRC, if fcitx will be included in install DVD, that means it would be included in main OSS repo. As you may know, packages in main OSS repo shouldn't be easily upgraded unless security holes or bugs are found and should be fixed. IE, if you want to provide up-to-date packages to users constantly, a development branch repo for that (maybe M17N repo?) is also needed anyhow.
