[Dev] help wanted wiki page

[Kaitlin Duck Sherwood]

I've created a page on the OSAF wiki for "bite-sized" projects: small, 
self-contained, projects with clear delieverables.  I'm hoping that this 
will be an easy way for people to contribute.

The first request is for help on internationalization, in particular on 
input methods:

I18n Input Methods

We could use a brief report on how input methods work, particularly in 
wxPython.

We would be grateful if someone could augment our existing wiki page on 
input methods
       http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Main/InputMethodI18N
with the following:

   * A discussion on the state of how well input methods work right now 
with wxPython.  Can a user fire up a Japanese input method, type in 
Latin, and get the appropriate Japanese character(s) into a wxTextCtrl?
      * If it's completely transparent and works completely 
transparently on all platforms (i.e. we don't have to write ANY 
additional code or handlers), then tell us that and you're done. 
      * If we need to use special classes or something to handle input 
methods, please explain what we need to do.
      * If there are workarounds needed, please explain those. 
      * If there is something known to be fundamentally broken, please 
explain that.
      * If support for input methods is just plain missing from 
wxPython, please tell us.
   * If input methods are somehow fundamentally broken in wxPython, and 
we would need to understand fundamentals of how the operating system 
deals with input methods, then we could use information on how each OS 
handles input methods.  Links to appropriate documentation for input 
methods on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows would be great.  Links to open 
source code that manipulates or implements input methods would be even 
better.

If you don't know what an input method is, see its glossary entry at:
