06:05:09 <juhp> wow the schedule was set finally - gosh :)
06:05:25 <tagoh_> well, no more "no earlier than" in the schedule. yeah
06:05:52 <juhp> :)
06:06:06 <tagoh_> so we can finally be moving to the next step for f21.
06:06:54 <tagoh_> maybe we should discuss docbeats stuff and test day in next meeting.
06:07:11 <tagoh_> I'll open tickets for them
06:07:27 <juhp> sounds good
06:08:36 <tagoh_> according to the schedule, changes freeze is coming next Tuesday though, how's our changes going on?
06:09:05 <tagoh_> pravins, epico?
06:10:17 <epico> the libzhuyin is still in progress, will try to package ibus-libzhuyin before Alpha.
06:11:28 <juhp> great
06:11:35 <tagoh_> epico: okay, thanks
06:12:56 <juhp> I guess you want to get it done this week to get it into koji by Tue
06:13:10 <epico> welcome :)
06:13:11 <juhp> I see paragan took the review :)
06:14:19 <epico> maybe I will release a new tar ball. :)
06:14:25 <pravins> tagoh_: Lohit change is done 100% :)
06:14:29 <tagoh_> epico: cool
06:14:32 <juhp> epico, great
06:14:34 <tagoh_> pravins: great
06:15:42 <tagoh_> okay, let's move on then.
06:16:12 <tagoh_> #topic Outstanding topic
06:16:12 <tagoh_> #info #26: proposal: IM and xkb UI design improvements (petersen)
06:16:12 <tagoh_> #link https://fedorahosted.org/i18n/ticket/26
06:16:20 <tagoh_> do we have any updates for this?
06:17:08 <juhp> I managed to install Rawhide Live Workstation... and I started looking at some of the IMEs but not filed bugs yet
06:17:16 <juhp> (net install failed for me)
06:17:22 <tagoh_> aha
06:17:57 <juhp> and my old test laptop keeps overheating when rebooting etc but I should have some results soon
06:18:14 <tagoh_> I see. thanks
06:18:33 <juhp> fujiwarat, btw I remembered you talked about removing the "Customize IMEs checkbox" in ibus-setup?
06:18:47 <juhp> still planning to do that?
06:19:17 <juhp> anyway +1 for removing it - I always thought it was unnatural
06:19:45 <juhp> (in the IME tab)
06:19:58 <fujiwarat> juhp: Yeah, I created a patch of 'ibus reset-config' and 'ibus read-config' sub commands for it.
06:20:03 <juhp> (Wayland crashed on me)
06:20:10 <juhp> fujiwarat, aha
06:20:41 <epico> I reported 3 gnome bugs but no response yet.
06:20:41 <juhp> fujiwarat, so can we expect that UI to change in f21?
06:20:46 <juhp> aha
06:20:54 <fujiwarat> Once I upsteamed the patch, I will update the Fedora test case for f21.
06:21:00 <juhp> thanks
06:21:07 <fujiwarat> s/upstreamed/upstream/
06:21:18 <juhp> fujiwarat, so yes?
06:21:23 <fujiwarat> yes
06:21:26 <juhp> thanks
06:22:09 <tagoh_> I suppose that would be better documenting in relnotes then
06:22:31 <fujiwarat> probably yes.
06:22:58 <epico> 3 bugs about gnome shell ibus issue.
06:23:20 <tagoh_> epico: urls for them?
06:23:26 <epico> https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=702944
06:23:32 <epico> https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=703020
06:23:38 <epico> https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708890
06:24:20 <tagoh_> aha
06:24:46 <juhp> fujiwarat, I still also wish that the IME input mode submenu were not a submenu
06:25:18 <juhp> "submenu" makes sense for toolbar but not ibus menu IMHO
06:26:02 <epico> should I add some CC?
06:26:36 <juhp> fujiwarat, if I want to open an rfe for that - should it be upstream?
06:27:07 <fujiwarat> epico: maybe pinging rmatos is better on #ibus.
06:27:28 <epico> fujiwarat: which time is okay for him?
06:27:43 <juhp> rtcm :)
06:27:58 <fujiwarat> maybe 7 0r 8 pm :)?
06:27:58 <juhp> epico, he is in EU
06:28:08 <epico> ah, I see. thanks :)
06:28:46 <fujiwarat> juhp: yeah, an rfe may be good. I may not understand the issue.
06:29:37 <juhp> fujiwarat, well I think we talked about it before privately: that input mode should not be submenu but toplevel menu entries
06:30:12 <juhp> but I know it is non-trivial since ibus doesn't know about input modes, though it really should IMHO
06:30:38 <juhp> it might be better to think of them as subengines...
06:31:15 <fujiwarat> Ah, ok, I misunderstood it previously.
06:31:22 <juhp> oh
06:31:53 <juhp> fujiwarat, open in github or ?
06:32:03 <juhp> or still google code?
06:33:07 <juhp> fujiwarat, ibus-setup also outputs a PyGI warnings when run btw
06:33:14 <juhp> a bunch of *
06:33:27 <juhp> well 4 for me ...
06:33:38 <juhp> in rawhide
06:34:08 <fujiwarat> I meant ibus-anthy has a input mode likes "Input mode (あ)" in main menu but probably your suggestion is that toggle menu items on main menu?
06:34:53 <juhp> fujiwarat, ah right.  yes
06:35:00 <juhp> does it make sense?
06:35:10 <juhp> okay I see kkc also has that
06:35:21 <fujiwarat> juhp: Yeah, I know unstable pygobject3 outputs deprecated warnings and the warnings are always stopped in the stable release.
06:35:22 <juhp> that is a good feature at least
06:35:31 <mfabian_> What is the problem with these submenus?
06:35:34 <juhp> fujiwarat, ah right
06:36:07 <epico> iiuc, expand the sub menu of input mode?
06:36:16 <mfabian_> I thought ibus-table should maybe change the toggle for the “Chinese mode” which toggles through 5 states, into such a submenu.
06:36:18 <juhp> mfabian_, to me it is a bit annoying having to go into a submenu to change mode
06:36:27 <juhp> epico, right that might work for gnome
06:36:43 <epico> juhp, I see. :)
06:36:59 <juhp> mfabian_, right - that is even worse ;)
06:37:07 <juhp> mfabian_, please do
06:37:15 <mfabian_> But if there  is no submenu, then either you have 5 menus in the toplevel, or, as it is in ibus-table now, one menu where you never know to which state it will toggle when you click it next.
06:37:33 <juhp> is 5 too much?
06:37:58 <juhp> I am planning to open a bug against ibus-libpinyin about the toggle too ;-)
06:38:28 <juhp> again toggle may be okay for toolbar but it is not acceptable for the IME menu IMHO
06:38:46 <juhp> I feel this is a bad UI adaption
06:38:56 <epico> ah
06:39:14 <juhp> but maybe zh users disagree?
06:39:30 * epico thinks so.
06:39:36 <mfabian_> ibus-table has already 8 menu entries in the panel. I think I can remove 1 of them, the rest seems useful enough to leave them. So 7 entries stay. Splitting the Chinese mode into 5 would make that 11 lines used in the menu.
06:39:45 <juhp> in fact this is the main reason for keeping #26 open ;o)
06:40:04 <juhp> mfabian_, lol, hmm I see
06:40:12 <mfabian_> If a submenu is used however, the number of lines used in the menu stays at 7.
06:40:14 <juhp> mfabian_, alright well submenu may be good them
06:40:16 <juhp> then
06:40:31 <juhp> mfabian_, what are the 7 entries?
06:41:01 <mfabian_> 1) Chinese input <-> Latin input
06:41:13 <mfabian_> 2) Chinese mode (TC/SC)
06:41:27 <mfabian_> 3) Punctuation width
06:41:30 <mfabian_> 4) Letter width
06:41:35 <juhp> erm
06:41:46 <mfabian_> 5) Pinyin <-> Table input
06:41:51 <juhp> sorry I meant the 5 modes
06:42:08 <mfabian_> Ah, the 5 Chinese modes.
06:42:11 <mfabian_> They are:
06:42:56 <mfabian_> 0) SC only 1) TC only 2) SC preferred 3) TC preferred 4) show everything without preferring SC or TC
06:43:04 <juhp> Japanese seems to have 5-6
06:43:13 <fujiwarat> juhp: Both ibus panel menu GUI and gnome-shell one is not good for you?
06:43:32 <juhp> mfabian_, I think submenu is okay
06:44:08 <mfabian_> Is it possible to have a submenu in the Gnome3 panel, but still have the toggle in the floating panel in XFCE?
06:44:17 <juhp> any other opinions on input mode submenu?  maybe everyone who wants speed uses keybindings?
06:44:51 <juhp> mfabian_, it might be a good rfe :)  but why is toggle better than menu?
06:45:02 <juhp> quicker?
06:45:45 <juhp> mfabian_, epico: how of often do people change table input mode?
06:45:59 <fujiwarat> juhp: Both ibus panel menu GUI and gnome-shell one is not good for you?
06:46:02 <mfabian_> juhp: you are right, the submenu is better for the floating toolbar as well.
06:46:28 <juhp> fujiwarat, sorry I saw your question - just wanted to solicit other opinions :)
06:46:44 <juhp> fujiwarat, not so much difference - they both use submenu right?
06:46:47 <epico> juhp, only once when setup.
06:46:50 <mfabian_> juhp: much better, one sees better what is available instead of trying by clicking.
06:47:02 <juhp> (:
06:47:04 <fujiwarat> juhp: ok, i see.
06:47:18 <mfabian_> Actually also faster because one can directly go from mode 0) to mode 4). instead of clicking 4 times.
06:47:25 <juhp> mfabian_, indeed
06:47:47 <juhp> (though one has to move the pointer:)
06:47:49 <juhp> anyway
06:48:10 <mfabian_> juhp: I’ll change to sub-menus for ibus-table soon then.
06:48:17 <juhp> epico, that makes me think it should not even be in the IME menu...
06:48:18 <fujiwarat> Hmm.., however submenu is normal on MS-IME.
06:48:26 <juhp> fujiwarat, okay
06:48:47 <epico> :)
06:49:20 <juhp> epico, I guess switch pinyin from toggle to menu is not good?
06:49:34 <epico> actually it only has two mode.
06:49:39 <epico> toggle is quicker.
06:49:44 <juhp> ah yes
06:49:51 <juhp> I see
06:50:21 <juhp> I find the UI confusing but maybe everyone is so used to it
06:50:31 <epico> agreed.
06:50:36 <juhp> hmm
06:50:54 <juhp> epico, any way to improve it?
06:51:09 * epico thinks...
06:51:42 <epico> get back the floating bar...
06:51:56 <juhp> I mean the menu :)
06:52:58 <epico> not currently...
06:53:14 <fujiwarat> I guess the current submenu satisfies users but not sure.
06:53:23 <epico> or two ime top menus?
06:53:50 <juhp> okay - maybe I can close #26 then?
06:53:52 <epico> ime menu and input mode menu?
06:54:03 <juhp> epico, hmm
06:54:32 <juhp> epico, but wouldn't that change the hotkey say?
06:55:03 <epico> maybe not affect hotkey...
06:55:23 <epico> just split one menu into two menu.
06:56:12 <juhp> epico, display "* Chinese", "  English" instead of toggle you mean?
06:57:07 <epico> not, one menu for switching imes, one menu for ime property.
06:57:13 <epico> just a thought.
06:57:22 <juhp> ah
06:57:33 <juhp> I see
06:57:51 <juhp> don't we need two icons then?
06:57:59 <epico> yeah
06:58:12 <epico> a random thought.
06:58:28 <juhp> okay it is an idea
06:58:38 <juhp> though upstream ibus seems not like it
06:58:49 <juhp> or phuang at least ;)
06:59:05 <epico> ime icon and input mode icon. :)
06:59:08 <juhp> ibus-anthy has two icons in non-gnome I think though only one menu
06:59:29 <epico> ah
06:59:35 <juhp> epico, +1 from me :)
06:59:54 <epico> +1, :)
07:00:15 <juhp> but phuang says -1 ;o)
07:00:24 <fujiwarat> phuang disagreed to have two icons for zh.
07:01:00 <juhp> and to have single input status icon for IMEs
07:01:04 <epico> fujiwarat, I think it is acceptable for zh users.
07:01:34 <juhp> fujiwarat, I think you made a patch?
07:01:57 <fujiwarat> yes, I have.
07:02:26 <juhp> though double icon is also slightly tricky and only for non-gnome I guess
07:02:46 <juhp> I would still prefer to have similar UI in gnome and non-gnome
07:03:00 <epico> +1
07:03:18 <juhp> so to me single status icon would be best still
07:05:48 <tagoh_> okay, anything else to discuss on this topic?
07:06:18 <juhp> fujiwarat, dunno if there is still any chance for non-gnome?
07:07:48 <fujiwarat> juhp: I have a plan to talk with phuang to show input mode or fork ibus again but maybe it's post f21.
07:08:05 <juhp> fujiwarat, okay good
07:08:23 <juhp> I agree it is late now for f21 for this kind of big change
07:09:56 <fujiwarat> yeah and I guess it still needs a long discussion.
07:10:49 <fujiwarat> FYI: screenshots on win8 for the discussion: http://fujiwara.fedorapeople.org/ibus/win8menu/
07:12:16 <epico> cool
07:12:45 <juhp> fujiwarat, there is no submenu there ;) :)
07:13:04 <juhp> thanks for the screenshots - useful reference
07:13:14 <fujiwarat> juhp: Oh, you're right.
07:13:24 <tagoh_> aha
07:14:27 <juhp> I don't see Chinese <-> English toggle either but I may be missing something
07:14:36 <juhp> epico, ?
07:15:21 <fujiwarat> left click on 中, switch 中 and 英. right click is ime menu.
07:16:05 <fujiwarat> for zh.
07:16:10 <epico> juhp, maybe in other place.
07:16:17 <juhp> ok
07:16:17 <epico> guess right click.
07:16:28 <juhp> I see
07:16:34 <juhp> fair enough
07:16:37 <juhp> thanks
07:16:51 <fujiwarat> This is right click for zh: http://fujiwara.fedorapeople.org/ibus/win8menu/zh/5.png
07:17:01 <fujiwarat> I think the left click only for zh.
07:17:23 <epico> no other buttons?
07:17:36 <epico> from the input mode icon?
07:17:58 <fujiwarat> no buttons from my testing
07:18:08 <mfabian_> So they have 2 entries in the panel, one to switch IMEs and one for the menu of the current ime. Where Gnome has both in one. The Gnome solution makes this single menu have many entries.
07:18:36 <epico> or more menus from input mode icon?
07:18:39 <fujiwarat> Sine there are two modes only, it maybe left click would be enough for zh.
07:19:05 <epico> fujiwarat, if it has two icons, maybe also two menus?
07:19:57 <fujiwarat> epico: one is http://fujiwara.fedorapeople.org/ibus/win8menu/zh/5.png
07:20:05 <fujiwarat> another is http://fujiwara.fedorapeople.org/ibus/win8menu/zh/6.png
07:20:33 <epico> maybe I need to try a win8 vm...
07:20:55 <juhp> .bug 1115295
07:20:59 <zodbot> juhp: Bug 1115295 improve input mode toggle menu - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1115295
07:21:41 <tagoh_> mfabian_: guess the POV of "simple" is different. they may feel complicated each other in their POV...
07:23:27 <tagoh_> so shall we move on then?
07:27:28 <tagoh_> #info #30: review Workstation Technical Specification for i18n (petersen)
07:27:28 <tagoh_> #link https://fedorahosted.org/i18n/ticket/30
07:30:05 <juhp> anyone have any comments?
07:31:12 <juhp> (has no idea how to undo hanja lock from ibus menu)
07:33:09 <juhp> current Workstation Live seems to contain 43 fonts fwiw
07:34:59 <tagoh_> well, just one comment. it looks like no indic IMEs in the package list though. am I missing something?
07:35:39 <juhp> right I noticed ibus-m17n was missing from the list
07:36:01 <juhp> not sure how accurate it is - it is actually installed still though
07:36:09 <tagoh_> heh
07:36:28 <juhp> or how useful it is ;)
07:36:48 <juhp> I would prefer to see a groups list supplemented by packages if needed
07:37:07 <tagoh_> guess there might be more packages missing in the list
07:37:16 <juhp> maybe I can update it or talk to mclasen
07:37:48 <juhp> likely
07:38:23 <juhp> anyway comps is probably more important :)
07:38:49 <juhp> ibus-m17n may just have been removed by accident
07:39:12 <tagoh_> that's good then
07:39:20 <juhp> if it is so yes :)
07:39:58 <juhp> s/removed/pruned/
07:40:01 <pravins> I want to review default fonts in Fedora might be end of this month
07:40:07 <juhp> aha
07:40:26 <juhp> good idea
07:41:01 <juhp> but if we wanted to suggest any changes, earlier better than later I guess :)
07:41:27 <tagoh_> yeah
07:42:03 <pravins> sure, i will check from my side
07:42:13 <juhp> thanks
07:42:41 <tagoh_> anything else?
07:42:47 <juhp> Alpha release is scheduled for just before Flock though might be optimistic
07:43:58 <juhp> generally I think we should engage with the Desktop/Workstation people for f21
07:44:32 <juhp> should we close the ticket already or ?
07:44:47 <juhp> or leave it open for follow ups?
07:45:37 <tagoh_> if no more comments or requests to wait for more, good to close I guess.
07:45:48 <juhp> okay fine
07:46:35 <juhp> I'll ask Matthias about updating/syncing the list
07:46:43 <tagoh_> thanks
07:49:55 <tagoh_> #topic Open Floor
07:50:07 <tagoh_> okay, anything else we want to discuss before stop the meeting?
07:50:28 <juhp> probably we could close #26 too now I feel
07:50:48 <tagoh_> juhp: okay
07:53:28 <tagoh_> if not, will close the meeting shortly..
07:57:01 <tagoh_> okay, stop here then. thanks everyone for the meeting!
