Hi, all. Thank you for your efforts to provide better CJK input experience openSUSE. But I have questions about the procedure. Firstly, the user survey is biased. It explicitly reflects the survey maker's personal opinion about IMs/IMFs. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dDdoMmU2emxaMXNxc0VfNTA... (It is available in both Chinese and English.) Let me point out ibus supporters' data regarding which IMF is more popular. http://www.ohloh.net/p/fcitx http://www.ohloh.net/p/ibus http://www.ohloh.net/p/scim It's 237(ibus) VS 11(fcitx) VS 14(SCIM) when I write this mail. ( I don't think this is very fair since fcitx's homepage forgot to put a "I USE IT" button until recently. And I haven't found such button in SCIM's homepage.) Secondly, focusing on maintainers' status rather than concrete technical problems. Both SCIM and ibus released new version recently. http://www.scim-im.org/ http://code.google.com/p/ibus/ In my humble opinion, they are not dead in any sense. I don't know why someone is talking about gossips of maintainers in this kind of formal place. On the other hand, some FOSS projects receive no maintenance for years. But they are still the work-horse in our systems. I just reviewed many ibus issues on Google Code and found many features missing in ibus. http://code.google.com/p/ibus/issues/list And I noted that fcitx is going to have unparalleled features soon. https://www.csslayer.info/wordpress/ So I can understand why people is pushing fcitx as default for at least zh_CN. But I object any dropping if keeping SCIM and/or ibus do not cause extra problems on openSUSE side. Since both projects are still active, there must be people want to use them.
