I'm not sure what Travis was thinking, but one interesting "to-do"
item would be to create a set of web pages that could explain how to
set up a Japanese IME.  It would be nice to "click a button" and have
it all set up perfectly, but I think most of us have found out it's
not quite there yet.  Until that "click a button" day is here, I think
such a web page would be helpful -- even more so if, someone outside
of TLUG Googled for "Linux Japanese IME" and came to our site.

I think our group is varied enough that we probably cover many
distributions.  And most (all...except for the occasional troll
passing through) of us have installed a Japanese IME...  I've
installed it on Ubuntu many times...yet I seem to be unable to repeat
the steps consistently!  *sigh*
