This post is mainly about SuSE having some great information but not making it easily accessible. I have had a pet project to get chinese input running on SuSE for sometime. I have been searching the SuSE site on and off for over a year and have never found any useful information. Yesterday I found a link in google which lead me to: http://www.suse.de/~mfabian/suse-cjk/ Which is a brilliant document on getting asian character input to work in SuSE by Mike Fabian. This answered all my questions. The next link in my google search lead me to another SuSE link: http://lists.suse.com/archive/m17n/2001-Nov/ This is a link to a SuSE mailing list called m17n which I had never heard of before nor seen on the website. Now this mailing list is only 3 months old but there is no mention of it on either suse.com or suse.de. The archived posts that I read were very helpful. Here is a mailing list that will help me. I find it strange that SuSE is producing such good documentation but not making it available. Does anyone remember that Lenz wrote a document on how to make your own rpms? How easy do you think that will be to find if a) you don't know that it was Lenz that wrote the document or b) you don't know the document exists but are looking for help. I spent 10 minutes on www.suse.de/en looking and I couldn't find it. This makes me wonder: what other great documentation have SuSE's people created that we can't access unless we know about it first? (or are lucky with google?). Just some thoughts, Jethro Cramp
