Hi all, I'm a committer of uim.
Mainly acts as porting uim to the Zaurus Linux-PDA.

Sounds good. It will help palmtop uim users not only desktop
environment users.

I have just finished implementing a new key-binding method,
called 'define-key'. This makes key-binding easy as following.

(define-key anthy-kana-toggle-key? "q")

See anthy.scm for more example. Transitions on any other files
such as generic-key.scm will follow soon.

I hope this helps making a good tutorial.
