In the floating panel, it is easy to click it it 4 times to go from mode 0 (simplified) to mode 4 (all characters). Opening the panel menu 4 times is tedious. 06:43:54 yep. shall we have another time for this discussion later 06:44:18 mfabian, right the floating UI is the original one - IMHO the menu is still a kind of quasi-hack sometimes 06:44:22 sure 06:44:42 #topic New topic 06:44:42 #info #30: review Workstation Technical Specification for i18n (petersen) 06:44:42 #link https://fedorahosted.org/i18n/ticket/30 06:45:02 mfabian, I would rather fix the menu UI though really :) 06:45:11 so it is the main topic in today's meeting I think.. 06:45:50 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Workstation/Technical_Specification 06:45:55 juhp: That would make it even longer though, the 5 modes would become a submenu like in kkc. 06:46:29 (Would be easier to understand, but take up more room in the menu) 06:46:39 mfabian, if we can fix it so that is it not longer etc :) 06:47:06 s/is it/it is/ 06:47:07 anyway 06:47:26 hope some of you have looked the WS Tech Spec - I know it is a bit late 06:47:55 but it occurred to me that it would be useful to review the current doc from the point of view of i18n 06:48:48 hopefully you have also seen the original http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Workstation/Workstation_PRD which gives more background 06:48:58 Which ibus packages should be in the core package list? Is it OK that ibus-typing-booster is missing? And ibus-cangjie or ibus-table? 06:49:45 good question - I would save major default IMEs 06:49:49 would say 06:50:25 So perhaps not ibus-typing-booster currently 06:50:26 Is Cangjie a major default IME? 06:50:39 For Hongkong it probably is. 06:50:43 table and cangjie might be worth considering 06:50:56 ibus-table also has cangjie, iirc. 06:51:01 probably we need some criteria for this 06:51:08 Yes, and cangjie in ibus-table is a lot improved now. 06:51:14 aha 06:51:39 that maybe good to include table at least perhaps - how big is ibus-table-chinese? 06:52:29 All Chinese tables = 13M 06:53:00 currently ko is not listed on top of gnome-initial-setup etc? 06:53:26 * anish_ woders what's wrong with internet connection 06:53:40 (packed in the rpms one table is about 2M, installed about 6M) 06:53:48 anish_, quite a lot apparently :) 06:54:06 mfabian, right and we probably don't need to install all... 06:54:25 no plans to make sub-packages? 06:54:27 I think we need to talk to mclasen etc about @fonts 06:54:37 Maybe only wubi because pwu said it is used a lot. 06:54:37 tagoh_, they already are 06:54:45 right 06:54:57 and maybe ibus-cangjie for Cangjie. 06:55:16 mfabian, sounds reasonable to me 06:56:04 I guess the other approach would be to go more by the langpacks approach 06:56:17 pwu: which variant of wubi is used most? We have wubi-haifeng86 and wubi-jidian86 06:56:37 juhp: aha 06:57:02 mfabian, I am not sure, maybe haifeng86... 06:57:09 or have some survey for it. 06:57:32 are they quite different? 06:57:41 not 06:57:44 ok 06:57:50 all based on wubi 86 edition. 06:58:00 with some extents. 06:58:05 ok 06:58:29 good if we could pick one I guess 06:58:55 * epico not sure about which one now. 07:00:21 epico, if you could find out that would be great to know 07:00:32 sure 07:01:02 will send email to fedora chinese. 07:01:10 anyway, back to the topic... good to have a time to review the tech spec until the next meeting and if there are anything, please bring it up there. 07:01:12 "TODO: Add fonts" I believe it is planned to add more fonts to the list 07:01:47 tagoh_, right or even earlier perhaps since Feature Freeze is approaching 07:02:05 less time to discuss it here apparently. 07:02:38 juhp: sure. so by this week maybe good then? and add a comment on the ticket please. 07:02:38 perhaps we should also look at the Server and Cloud docs since there could also be different i18n concerns there 07:02:46 tagoh_, thanks 07:03:03 aha 07:03:32 note that the Spec is not just F21 but also longer term plan 07:03:45 eg Wayland 07:04:03 I see 07:04:04 I also wanted to mention http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Workstation/Tasklist 07:04:14 I think we should get involved in that 07:05:35 I suggested to ueno he should talk to Rui Matos and work together on Wayland input since he has been thinking a lot about that already 07:06:11 any other immediate concerns on the WS Spec? 07:08:22 I just received the Tasklist page yesterday 07:08:42 aha 07:08:59 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Workstation/Tasklist#How_to_get_involved 07:09:41 the touchpad support is listed... 07:10:25 epico, right - might not be targeted for F21, not sure 07:10:35 ah 07:12:17 actually I don't know the details 07:12:33 maybe I am thinking about wayland 07:12:47 ok 07:14:05 okay, anything else? 07:16:03 #topic Open Floor 07:16:13 any other topics to discuss before stop the meeting? 07:17:57 if not, will close the meeting shortly 07:20:54 okay, thanks everyone for the meeting! 07:21:01 #endmeeting
