Screenshot of JQuery IME working with Koha v3.10

Indian installations with large holdings in vernacular languages (India has 22
recognized "official" languages) need input method (IME) to input and query
data in the Indic languages. Largely, the user preference is for a
browser-based IME.

I've used the JQuery IME[1] from Wikimedia Language Engineering team with Koha
v3.10 and found it to be suitably working (see scrnshot).

I would like to see the IME included into future Koha versions. The plugin is
dual-licensed GPLv2+ and MIT and should pose no problem in license
compatibility with Koha.

How to take this forward?


Reference:

[1] https://github.com/wikimedia/jquery.ime/ - "jQuery Input method editor
library supporting 50+ input methods across several languages. This is the
jQuery version of the input method tool used in Wikimedia projects, a.k.a.
Narayam. These input methods are well tested and contributed by large Wikimedia
community. This project is a Wikimedia foundation initiative to provide
language technology tools to wider audience outside the Wikimedia universe"
