Another barrier is English :-)

Yes.

For IM:

Our home page should be redirected to Wiki:
 http://pkg-ime.alioth.debian.org=20

All project links are at:
 http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-ime

Our shared source (mostly debian/* files only using dpatch) are on SVN:
 svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-ime

There are many request-to-sponsor on ML which I could not keep up.

Ikuya has few SCIM related packages at around

# SCIM anthy qt-imm, ...
deb http://everybody.good-day.net/~ikuya/debian/sarge/scim-misc/ ./
deb-src http://everybody.good-day.net/~ikuya/debian/sarge/scim-misc/ ./
deb http://everybody.good-day.net/~ikuya/debian/sarge/kasumi/ ./

For font, Arne G=F6tje's ttf-arphic-{ukai|uming} fonts seem interesting
but I never got around to review and upload them.  It can be obtained
=66rom debian.org.tw site.

# fonts
deb ftp://debian.linux.org.tw/pub/apt/ unstable main
