New vocabulary!
November 11, 2009 – 10:26 pmI learned a new phrase today.
开源软件 means “open source software.” It’s pronounced “kai yuan ruan jian” with the following tones… uh… there isn’t really a good way to… do this… *image editing!*
There we go. Maybe we can take some time during lunch to get (on video?) a “common words in open source… in Mandarin!” (and other languages people speak) reference going.

In liguistics you use accents over the vowels to mark the tone. Bug me about at fudcon and ill show you how to use deadkeys and composes

you should really not to use default font (UMing and UKai) but should try WenQuanYi ZenHei instead, which is already in the repo. For 汉语拼音 there are special symbols for them, find them at the wiki, “Pinyin” page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinyin
according to RMS, “自由软件” is always better than “开源软件” do you think so?

Chinese characters are very interesting!
I hope you can learn more.

Well, i don’t know as much about doing chinese input as i do about trying to get all those tricky european accents. As for documentation, it would be nice to have *unified* documentation, i think, than to have more scattered incomplete documentation.

I can do unified docs, too.
