Bug#178240: RFA: canna -- Lightweight Japanese input system

[ISHIKAWA Mutsumi <ishikawa@linux.or.jp>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

 I decide to orphan Canna Kana-Kanji Input system.

 I have not already Canna for several years. But I should manage
debian local patches. I can not merge them to upstream because
upstream development of canna was stopped since 1997.In the end of
last year, AIDA Shinra take over the project and restarted the
development of Canna. He merged most of debian local patches into
upstream tree.

 So, I'll retire from the canna package management. I hope anyone
to take over the package beucase Canna is most populer Japanese
Kana-Kajji conversion system in Japan and Japanese Kana-Kanji
conversion system is fundamental package for Japanese.




Description: A Japanese input system (server and dictionary).
 Canna is a Japanese input system available in Free Software.
 Canna provides a unified user interface for inputting Japanese.
 .
 Canna supports Nemacs, Mule, kinput2 and canuum.  All of these
 tools can be used by a single customization file, romaji-to-kana
 conversion rules and conversion dictionaries, and input Japanese in
 the same way.
 .
 Canna converts kana to kanji based on a client-server model and
 supports automatic kana-to-kanji conversion.
