[openi18n-im:01469] Re: Announcement: iiim Palette function works now

Phill,

I witnessed how cool it is. With this significant feature, IIIM
usability will be highly enhanced from both developer and end user
perspective.

LE developer can customize their own palette, the customization is
pretty easy, just need to provide their property data. One validation
tool will be provided to help LE developer design their own palette.

To end user, one consistent window will display on desktop to configure
once we implement and deploy common language engine.

BTW, the existing AUX window can co-exist. The new feature wouldn't
break it.
