== Summary == The recommended default input method for Indic languages will be changed from Inscript to Enhanced Inscript keymaps. == Owner == * Name: [[User:Pnemade| Parag Nemade]] * Email: <pnem...@fedoraproject.org> == Detailed Description == We have enhanced Inscript keyboard layouts available in Fedora. But they were implemented some time back as draft implementation. We now want to update them to follow the final released standard keymappings. It is available as [https://standardsbis.bsbedge.com/BIS_searchstandard.aspx?Standard_Number=IS+16350&id=22277 IS 16350:2016] standard. {| border="1" |- | '''Language''' || ''' Locale code ''' ||'''Existing Input method''' ||'''New Input method''' |- | Assamese || as_IN || as-phonetic.mim || as-inscript2.mim |- | Bengali || bn_IN || bn-inscript.mim || bn-inscript2.mim |- | Bodo || brx_IN || brx-inscript2-deva.mim || brx-inscript2-deva.mim |- | Dogri || doi_IN || doi-inscript2-deva.mim || doi-inscript2-deva.mim |- | Gujarati || gu_IN || gu-inscript.mim || gu-inscript2.mim |- | Hindi || hi_IN || hi-inscript.mim || hi-inscript2.mim |- | Kannada || kn_IN || kn-kgp.mim || kn-inscript2.mim |- | Kashmiri || ks_IN@devanagari || ks-inscript.mim || ks-inscript2-deva.mim |- | Konkani || kok_IN || kok-inscript2-deva.mim || kok-inscript2-deva.mim |- | Maithili || mai_IN || mai-inscript.mim || mai-inscript2.mim |- | Malayalam || ml_IN || ml-inscript.mim || ml-inscript2.mim |- | Manipuri || mni_IN ||mni-inscript2-beng.mim ||mni-inscript2-beng.mim |- | Marathi || mr_IN || mr-inscript.mim || mr-inscript2.mim |- | Nepali || ne_NP || ne-rom.mim ||ne-inscript2-deva.mim |- | Odia || or_IN || or-inscript.mim || or-inscript2.mim |- | Punjabi || pa_IN || pa-inscript.mim || pa-inscript2-guru.mim |- | Sanskrit || sa_IN ||sa-harvard-kyoto.mim ||sa-inscript2.mim |- | Santhali || sat_IN ||sat-inscript2-deva.mim ||sat-inscript2-deva.mim |- | Sindhi || sd_IN@devanagri || sd-inscript.mim || sd-inscript2-deva.mim |- | Tamil || ta_IN || ta-typewriter.mim || ta-inscript2.mim |- | Telugu || te_IN || te-inscript.mim || te-inscript2.mim |} == Benefit to Fedora == Users who want to use Enhanced Inscript keymaps will get to use them which will now use final released implementation of IS 16350:2016 standard. == Scope == * Proposal owners: Update the final released Enhanced Inscript Keyboard Layouts standard. This requires to update m17n-db package which uses https://pagure.io/inscript2 as upstream for these Enhanced Inscript keymaps. We will also need to update default keymaps for Indic languages from Inscript to Enhanced Inscript. This will be done in ibus-m17n package. * Other developers: * Release engineering: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) == Upgrade/compatibility impact == Users will be moved from Inscript keymaps to Enhanced Inscript keymaps. Both are compatible to each other except some keymappings changed for Normal characters as well as Shifted Characters and 3rd layer (using AltGr) is added to type extra characters. == How To Test == We already have Enhanced Inscript keymaps in Fedora but their implementation is following draft released standard by Government. With this Change users can test final released standard keymaps. They can still use the same testcase https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Inscript2_Keymaps == User Experience == * Users will type characters as per final released Enhanced Inscript standard keymaps. == Dependencies == m17n-db and ibus-m17n packages will be updated == Contingency Plan == Revert to older Inscript keymaps. == Documentation == We will add some information about this in Release notes. -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Fedora Program Manager Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
