I've been looking for a way to input Simplified Chinese into Emacs using 
the Wubizixing method but I haven't located anything appropriate in my 
local Emacs (I'm using a relatively recent CVS version for Mac OS X).

I found an implementation at:

http://daiyuwen.freeshell.org/gb/wubi/wubi.html (GPL?)

but it appears to do more than I need and since the code felt a bit messy 
to me, I stripped it down to its bare essentials.  I'm not sure where the 
table data came from [1] so I'm uncertain as to the redistributability of 
the original and/or modified code.

On a related note, I've located some seemingly usable table data in the 
cxterm and the xsim projects:

http://cvs.sf.net/viewcvs.py/cxterm/cxterm/dict/gb/WuBi.tit?rev=1.3&view=log
http://cvs.sf.net/viewcvs.py/xsim/xsim/plugins/IMs/wubi/dict/words/

I'm thinking about writing some code to translate one of the tables (or 
perhaps do both and merge them) for use in an appropriate quail input 
method.  However, before I decide whether to proceed, I'd like to know 
if there's a wubi input method scheduled to be included in Emacs (or if 
there's one there already that I've missed).  Does anyone here know?

Cheers


[1] I got the feeling from the first couple of paragraphs of the web 
page that the author got table data from cxterm, but I'm not confident
about this interpretation of the text.
