What is m17n? If it is about internationalisation it makes sense to include it |
| 13 |
in the project, but I leave that to the people who are going to do the work. |

That's why I suggested creating a project for all, and having herds for |
| 24 |
specific languages. Many issues are similar for any language != US English. |
| 25 |
The XIM specification is the same for any language. However, specific IM's |
| 26 |
are often only easilly maintained by people who use it (allready because the |
| 27 |
English docs of such things are either lacking or horrible in most cases) |
