  • [JapaneseInputHowto] using UIM (can be applied to other languages)

  • [http://www.m17n.org/ The M17N project] is badly needed for some languages like Vietnamese. But the corresponding packages, libm17n-0 and m17n-db, have not been updated (in Debian and so in Ubuntu) for almost 2 years! During that time there has been new releases with the last one bringing a major enhancement (say requirements for Vietnamese typing) in functionnalities. I did package them myself (which is very easy with Gutsy) and put them in our [http://wiki.hanoilug.org/soft:apt:hanoilug HanoiLUG repository] but I would rather love to see them in some standard Ubuntu repository instead! Any option to do this? -- ProgFou

OpenOffice.org only supports IIIMF (see [https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/44626 Malone#44626]. If SCIM or UIM is selected, it would be nice to provide an IIIMF bridge to support OOo.
