From Ko Ravi:
Looks nice. I have been thinking about a feature request. Is it possible to
do context based spellings? As an example I type:

Kyaung Thar (Student)

Kyaung is one syllable. And is this case I want ကျောင်း. Once I 
have typed
that I type Thar, I want Waitzar to know that preference has to be given to
သား rather than သာ because I have previously typed 
ကျောင်း. This off course
would actually require a dictionary. And if that dictionary also happens to
be a phrase dictionary, that it's gonna be awesome for those who are really
bad at spelling in Burmese. (Hint Hint).
Cheer!
Ravi 

Another thing that I am looking for is Word/Phrase completion mode. Much
like how Google Suggest works. I know that right now you main milestone if
to get ibus-waitzar working. But this kind of feature could be really
useful for those learning Burmese especially in Universities doing Oriental
Studies etc. The Word Suggest text box could also display not just the
suggested Word but the meaning in English as well. I wonder if I am asking
too much? Eagerly waiting for your thoughts on this.
Cheers,
Ravi.

My thoughts:

Seems reasonable. First, we have to solve the issue of where to store user 
data, but
we need that solved anyway for the next release.

We also need to do performance testing on the various ways of storing such a 
database
(and its size).

It's times like these that I wish I had access to a really, really old Win2K 
computer.

For version 1.8, I think we should do a very simply implementation (e.g., allow 
the
users to define trigrams using a graphical interface).

Right now, I don't want to save common trigrams, because I am concerned about 
user
privacy (just saving "all trigrams" will save their passwords, etc.) Forcing 
them to
type in trigrams is annoying, but for proper nouns (names, places) it would 
make sense. 

Including a small amount of functionality will at least get feedback for the 
next
release.

(Note to self: maybe only saving trigrams that occur after the user hits "left" 
or
"right" to change the word makes sense? But that's for later...)

Note to self: This falls under the category of things that are "unique to WZ". 
In other words, the interface should be clean enough that users will know that 
editing these settings will only affect WZ  ---not, say, Burglish or Ayar.

Pushing off to version 1.9 ---even just a dialog for trigrams would take time, 
require storage, etc. I'd rather do it right than do a hasty job.
