Looking forwards:

Fonts and rendering

We have some good progress in F36 with Noto and want to extend it.

• more Noto default coverage
• user installation of fonts
• packaging tool
• hiding unwanted fonts?

Input methods

2 main areas are probably

• UI/UX consistency
• regressions/Wayland issues

though more things have been fixed overall now for F36 compared to F35.

Some ideas:

• improving gnome-control-center
  • distinguishing IMEs from keyboard layouts
• anaconda?
• emoji input consistency
• Gnome upstream/downstream CI for ibus

Locales and langpacks

• Langpacks more modularity for more flexibility
• installation by geo instead of just locale?
