If I'm reading the details below correctly (and I can't access the website
so I've nothing else to go on) this is only for Chinese input? Please
mention this in the short description, as someone (such as myself ^_^)
looking for an International Phonetic Alphabet input method might grab
this, despite already having a nicely-working Chinese input method. ^_^

And speaking of other input methods, is there any plan to bridge this
into uim as well?
