Why do you think it will confuse users to have two input methods, each one for one of the layouts? If the supported layout is clearly stated in the documentation (or even in the name of the IM), why would it confuse? Please note that we already have several examples where different input methods for the same language are offered, one each for every keyboard layout we think users could find useful. Is Tamil different in some way? > So I would prefer the layout which is familiar to most users to get > in core. If one of the layouts comes from Windows, the other from Unix, we are likely to have two large groups of users, each one of which is familiar with a different layout. Why not offer them both what they are familiar with?
