I am using ibus-unikey and have not tried fcitx. On ibus or scim, unikey is better than m17n. Ready to move to fcitx if it is really better and can be used for Vietnamese input. Anyway thanks guys! On Fri, Oct 19, 2012 at 10:16 AM, Yichao Yu <yyc1992@gmail.com> wrote:

Btw, what's the input method you are using in ibus right now? Don't really think ibus provides more options than fcitx on it right now.
And I think it is already clear we shouldn't drop any of the IMFs we currently have in the official repo (fcitx/ibus/scim... whatever) the real problem is who will become the new TU to maintain ibus packages and also about Felix' tu application (this one may need a new thread). So plz don't worry.
Vietnamese fellows, raise your voices :)

For the gnome3.6 ibus-integration problem Felix Yan mentioned above, the patch to split ibus into ibus and libibus is already tested and can be found here[1].

My gripe with fcitx is that it is poorly documented (in English at least), and I wasn't able to get it to work. I'm sure people are using it fine, but I feel that the quality of software is limited by its documentation. No documentation = software sucks, end of story. If we move in this direction, I'd like to see someone familiar with fcitx update the wiki accordingly =).
We have just updated the English wiki of fcitx recently. It still lack some detail description of certain engines (e.g. pinyin) but simply install the packages and set environment variables according to the arch wiki should make it works just fine. Would you mind describing your problem (maybe on fcitx@googlegroups.com) so that we can help with it and probably add it to wiki?
We are also aware of our poor documentation and is trying to improve that both on our own wiki[1] and on the user interface.
