I've been looking for a way to input Simplified Chinese into Emacs using
the Wubizixing method but I haven't located anything appropriate in my
local Emacs (I'm using a relatively recent CVS version).
I found an implementation at:
http://daiyuwen.freeshell.org/gb/wubi/wubi.html (GPL?)
but it appears to do more than I need and since the code feels a bit messy
to me, I stripped it down to its bare essentials (FWIW, my modified
version seems to work for what I need at the moment). I'm not sure where
the table data came from [1] so I'm uncertain as to the redistributability of
the original and/or modified code.
On a related note, I've located some seemingly usable table data in the
cxterm and the xsim projects:
http://cvs.sf.net/viewcvs.py/cxterm/cxterm/dict/gb/WuBi.tit?rev=1.3&view=log
http://cvs.sf.net/viewcvs.py/xsim/xsim/plugins/IMs/wubi/dict/words/
I'm considering whether to write some code to translate one of the tables
(or perhaps do both and merge them) for use in an appropriate quail input
method. However, before I decide whether to proceed, I'd like to know if
there's a wubi input method scheduled to be included in Emacs (or if there's
one there already that I've missed). Does anyone here know?
Cheers
[1] I think there's mention about the table data originating from the
cxterm project at:
http://daiyuwen.freeshell.org/gb/wubi/wubi.html
but I'm not confident of my interpretation of the text (within the
first few paragraphs).

[1] I got the feeling from the first couple of paragraphs of the web
page that the author got table data from cxterm, but I'm not confident
about this interpretation of the text.

You might want to ask emacs-devel@gnu.org instead.
I don't think there is and I think we'd welcome such a contribution, but
I actually don't really know what I'm talking about,
