I have occasionally added my ideas to the spec as a Korean user since I 
believe it will help lot of Korean Ubuntu users. And, nowadays I am watching 
this prioritity issue on scim 
( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=86329 ).

The spec includes several topics such as Input Method, Language Selector, 
FontConfig, MP3 ID3 tag, Printing, Embolden of CJK characters and a couple of 
others. And, the spec is being written by three contributors including 
myself.

Because of the priority issue (I don't know there are any resource and others 
for delaying implementation of this spec), I suggested splitting the spec 
into multiple parts to concentrate and achieve one by one from most important 
one to CJK users. (We, three contributors, communicated and agreed upon this 
idea.) 

However, even though the spec will be splitted, I am thinking that we should 
have a master plan like this spec for CJK users to not repeat same efforts 
later, to see overall implementations, to set up priorities. Also thinking 
the spec shouldn't be splitted by country and maybe some parts can be 
transferred to the other specs like as printing roadmap.

In my opinion, a default Input method such as scim, better fontconfig for CJK 
users and enabling embolden properly with patches should be focused for first 
implementation to Dapper. And, I love to listen any idea about this and you 
can add your idea to the spec, too.

I am inviting your help for the spec after all so any suggestion, comments and 
help are welcome, Ubuntero. Please make this spec as yours.
