Dear all,
I generally think this is mosty an issue of general awareness. A few
months ago, the Ubuntu team said my idea has been noted, thank you.
Again, organizationally, Taiwanese 1. use "traditional" Chinese, same as
Hong Kong and all markets other than China. 2. Better or worse,
Taiwanese learned to speed-type bopomofo (zhuin/chewing) Mandarin in
Windows and that speed-typing only works with GCIN's layout, for now...
[wink]
In road maps, Taiwanese would love to see a GCIN option at Mandarin
install... or... GCIN's workflow as an option for IBUS and FCITX.
With Taiwan making news recently, I want to express: Taiwan's market is
ripe for Ubuntu, but they just don't know it exists! Typing input was
one hurtle. But, also is just general awareness. The Ubuntu community
and Taiwan need help knowing each other more.
As I understand, current Ubuntu users are sophisticated types like
super-geeks, engineers, and professors. They probably provide most input
for Ubuntu's knowledge base, but there is no reason Ubuntu can't work
for normal Taiwanese.
I am doing my small part to get the secret out about Ubuntu and
open-source apps at verb.ink and its YouTube Channel. I believe if
Taiwan learns about Ubuntu, they could reach near saturation in two
years because that's how Taiwan does things. (It went that fast with
Facebook.) That would be a big boost for Ubuntu and open-source.
I'm here if anyone wants to ask me questions or improve my work at
verb.ink and related projects. Thank you so much for being approachable.
This forum is now my number one reason I prefer Ubuntu.

PS I plan to test GCIN on a few Ubuntu distros soon. EVERYONE seems
swamped with work these days—at least good people anyway. Don't quit.

Thank you. I will be testing it soon. I haven't had time yet.

There may be flavor specific issues. Anyway, as already said:

A gcin issue reported in <https://launchpad.net/bugs/1482938> has been
fixed now. It may or may not be relevant to the problem mentioned above.
