Re: [Varnamproject-discuss] Can't get libvarnam-ibus to work

Hi,

A question about issue #4: https://github.com/varnamproject/varnamd/issues/4

Is the init script used as of now? What are the improvements you have in mind?

Hi,

Some changes to readme.md: https://github.com/varnamproject/varnamd/pull/13

I'm new to go and I had to spend an evening to figure out how to set up varnamd. Hope this helps.
