Cheng-Chia Tseng recently opened a ticket in the IBus Cangjie bug tracker, submitting a Taiwan Chinese translation.
This in itself is pretty awesome, but we didn't stop there: Cheng-Chia helped me set up a Transifex project for IBus Cangjie.

As I wrote previously, GNOME 3.6 will integrate tightly with IBus.
This is because GNOME takes responsibility for its users, and wants to provide to all of them a great, out of the box experience. Even those whose language requires complex input methods.

For the past few months, I've been concerned about the plans to integrate input methods directly into GNOME.
