The Fedora Project will be adopting a revolutionary new Input Method system in the upcoming release of the Fedora Core 2. We would like to
extend an invitation at this time to East Asian users in particular to test this preliminary release and provide us with feedback so we can
improve the software and ensure that the Input Methods will be easier, more efficient and pleasant to use.

Intranet/Internet Input Method Framework (IIIMF) is the next generation Input Method Framework set to replace the legacy X Window System Input Method (XIM) used by existing Input Methods such as chinput, xcin, kinput2, ami and many others. As the technology is still at its infancy,
wider testing effort by community is needed to expediate the maturity of the technology.

IIIMF server loads Language Engines (LE) dynamically at runtime as requested by clients. In this first round of testing, four LEs are
available:
    + iiimf-le-inpinyin for Simplified Chinese (zh_CN.UTF-8)
    + iiimf-le-xcin for Traditional Chinese (zh_TW.UTF-8)
    + iiimf-le-canna for Japanese (ja_JP.UTF-8)
    + iiimf-le-hangul for Korean (ko_KR.UTF-8)

If you wish to participate in this first round of testing, a Testing Guide is now available at http://apac.redhat.com/iiimftest/testing-guide/. It will give you the necessary information to set up IIIMF and to use the LE specific to your locale. Please note that this round of testing will end on Sunday, 29 Feb 2004.

Getting the software:
Download IIIMF Packages from http://apac.redhat.com/iiimftest/files

How to test it:
Please read http://apac.redhat.com/iiimftest/testing-guide for details on using and testing IIIMF.
