Comment (by petersen):

 We discussed some of this last week:

 http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-
 meeting/2014-02-05/i18n.2014-02-05-06.01.log.html#l-82

 - more metadata is needed on xkb maps
 - typing-booster could benefit from layout (keymap) switching rather than
 relying on libtranslit
   - perhaps it could be handled by IME
 - (Latin phonetic vs non-phonetic IME (input modes))
   - eg zh IMEs (other than pinyin) often assume/specify US layout
 - further cleanup/filtering of xkb maps
 - system config of keyboard geometry, which could restrict list of
 available keymaps/layouts
 - detection of keyboard type by USB?
