I tried to install scim (albeit in breezer) by installing the "scim" 
package, and only the basic software was added. I had to install 
manually the tables for CJK, else it would not work.
I could not find the complete list of languages supported. Where are they?
Is there a page with documentation on scim, similar to
http://anakin.ncst.ernet.in/~aparna/consolidated/x1963.html
If you can show/write such easy to understand documentation, I can 
promise you to appear in the next version of the document above.
