Smart Common Input Method

About SCIM

Su Zhe (or James Su)-who at that time worked for TurboLinux- started this project about 2001 with the goal:

   * Act as an unified frontend for current available input method libraries. Currently bindings to uim and m17n library are available.
   * Act as a language engine of IIIMF input method framework (TBD).
   * Provide as many native IMEngines as possible.
   * Support as many input method protocol/interface as possible.
   * Support as many operating systems as possible.

By now, the SCIM project has already achieved a lot of features:

   * Fully Object Oriented structure written in C++.
   * Highly modularized.
   * Very flexible architecture, can be used as a dynamically loaded library as well as a C/S input method environment.
   * Simple programming interface.
   * Fully i18n support with UCS-4/UTF-8 encoding.
   * Include many handy utility functions to speedup the development.
   * GUI Panel with very rich features.
   * Unified configuration framework.
