Make the effective developments in the Japanese IME and apply the latest updates in ibus to each IME more effectively because I'm the maintainer of both ibus and ibus-anthy.
Users will see continued improvements to the Japanese IME and it will get updated to take advantage of new ibus features and allow ibus development to proceed smoothly.

ibus-anthy for default Japanese IME

Summary

The current default Japanese IME(input method engine) is ibus-kkc and the default is going to change to ibus-anthy to develop Japanese IME more effectively.

Owner

Current status

Detailed Description

The current Fedora default IME for Japanese ibus-kkc is no longer actively maintained, which has also held back some ibus development plans for gsettings, so we are going to switch the default IME back to ibus-anthy now. Originally the default was changed in Fedora 19 from ibus-anthy to ibus-kkc because the upstream anthy was no longer updated. Recently I got the agreement with the original developer of anthy and forked it to anthy-unicode and started to maintain ibus-anthy more actively again.

We also considered ibus-mozc as a potential IME, but the configuration GUI is based on Qt and it also has a different feel to other IMEs.

Feedback
