Hi, Thanks for your attention to CJK input methods. FWIK yangtsesu is currently a fcitx user and packager of openSUSE [1]. His packages are okay and updated regularly, but I'm afraid he doesn't have enough time to maintain all ibus stuff too. Besides, I would like to maintain fcitx stuff as I am an active user and current maintainer of some other fcitx-related popular packages in AUR [2], and a Chinese native speaker too. I posted an e-mail [3] to look for sponsor August this year, and jsteel contacted me and told me lots of useful stuff. I realized I'm not ready at that time as I had still several obvious problems in my AUR packages. But I would like to apply again now if applicable. You may refer to the fcitx packaging status page [4], as mentioned in my previous mail [3] I am currently maintaining some popular fcitx packages in the [archlinuxcn] community repo to help CJK users, but it would be obviously much better if they could be in [community] :) Sorry, as I am a fcitx user and wishing to maintain fcitx packages, I can't help with the ibus stuff. Just a FYI: gnome-settings-daemon will depends on ibus and start ibus-daemon automatically in the coming 3.6 series, but a user will still have an option to choose fcitx by setting related env params such as GTK_IM_MODULE to fcitx. There should be a clean way to do this though I didn't find one yet :( Thanks.
