Requirements * We need to migrate to SCIM for our input method needs. Our current input method (XKB with XIM) does not work with languages like Chinese, and there are enhancement requests from existing deployments (eg: <trac>8494</trac>) which can only be handled via SCIM.
  • Must completely support Simplified Chinese, Nepali and Amharic.
Specification * Conversion of all existing layouts to m17n db format , along with refinements and better support for modifiers whenever possible (<trac>6280</trac>
  • Modification of relevant startup and configuration scripts for SCIM support
  • User experience for keyboard layout switching should not change
  • Proper handling of Amharic characters (<trac>8494</trac>)
  • Implementation of OLPC_Nepal_Keyboard
