that's Wonderful indeed ;) Then it seems there's not
so much time left for me to implement a qt-immodule
for scim

I think so

We can discuss in SCIM mailinglist
(scim at freedesktop.org) if you want.

As you know, both UIM and SCIM are some sorts of
"platforms", so if they are merged into one project,
probably only one framework will survive.

James_su and I think maybe SCIM has a better
development framework, so we hope the merged project
will be based upon exsiting SCIM framework.

what's your opinion then?

(BTW: I cc this email to scim mailing list as you can
see)

Regards,
Cougar
