[Rajkumar S <ra...@ya...>]

Hello all,

IIIMF is one promising input method framework for us. Here is some
information from the project site, The project home page is at 

http://www.li18nux.org/subgroups/im/IIIMF/
 
IIIMF is designed to be the next generation of input method framework
which provides the following capabilities;

# Multiplatform, platform independent
# Mulitlingual/Full UNICODE support
# Windowing System Independent
# Multiple language engines concurrently run
# Multiuser
# Distributed, lightweight client and server
# Extensible
# Efficient input method protocol

The IIIM Server Framework(IIIMSF) is, unlike XIM Server, a platform
independent, Windowing system independent, multilingual input method
server framework. IIIM Server runs as a system daemon on UNIX, or as a
system service on Windows. Unlike XIM server running as per-user
server, single IIIM server process provides input method service to
multiple users in multiple language simultaneously. At this moment IIIM
Server is known to run on UNIX flavored OSs and Windows. 

IIIM Client Framework(IIIMCF) are built for several platforms and
Windowing systems. Here is the list of IIIMCF currently available or in
development.

# IIIMXCF - IIIM X Window System Client Framework
# IIIMJCF - IIIM Java2 Client Framework
# IIIMECF - IIIM Emacs Client Framework
# IIIMGCF - IIIM Generic C client Framework (libiiimf)
# IIIMWCF - IIIM Windows Client Framework
