Hi, Togami:

There is no scim-gcin bridge.

I know Suzhe (scim author) want to cooperate with Edward Liu(gcin
author), but Edward reject. (for many reason)

Input method platform is like terminal emulator.
No one single platform meets everyone's needs.

Gcin is written in C, so it has no g++ compatibility issue.
GTK/QT immodules of Gcin are very stable, and are highly compatible with
Realplayer, Acrobat, Firefox, Openoffice, and many other applications.

Gcin meets Traditional Chinese users' most needs, when scim and uim do not.

Gcin is very popular among Taiwan and Hong Kong users, and has been
official package of Mandriva and Archlinux.

Again, so do I request only FC5 branch or I can request for FC4 and
FC3 branch, too?
