[http://wiki.meego.com/Maliit Malit] You can run Maliit on Fedora 16: [https://wiki.maliit.org/Documentation/Installing#Fedora here are the installation guides for Fedora], latest available version is 0.91. On the XO this drags in 4,4 MB of QT and 12 MB of QT-X11.

* Change the style
 +
To adjust your settings have a look at maliit-framework/examples/apps/maliit-exampleapp-settings-python3.py If you change the header to say '/usr/bin/python' to not try to use Python3 you can use it to do Maliit settings (you have to run the script from within Sugar).
 +
 +
./maliit-exampleapp-settings-python3.py about libmaliit-keyboard-plugin.so
 +
./maliit-exampleapp-settings-python3.py set libmaliit-keyboard-plugin.so current_style olpc-xo
 +
 +
You can add as well several languages to be available:
 +
 +
./maliit-exampleapp-settings-python3.py set enabled libmaliit-keyboard-plugin.so:en_gb,libmaliit-keyboard-plugin.so:de

==Advancements==
 +
 +
Keystrike accuracy will suffer compared to keys with tactile feedback.  Users can compensate by visually aiming their keystrikes, but then spelling and textual context feedback will suffer because their eyes can't follow stdin and stdout or a transcription source and stdin at the same time.
 +
 +
Once a keyboard layout has been determined, the home or neutral position of each hand&mdash;its 'center-of-mass'&mdash;can be recorded as a displacement from some keyboard reference coordinate.  If there were software monitoring for drift in the 'center-of-mass' for either hand, the position of the on-screen keyboard could automatically drift in compensation (within limits) to preserve accuracy.
 +
 +
Models of keyboarding styles would be needed to accommodate the many variations and patterns of keystroking in order to distinguish drift from 'in spec' intentional movement.  Watch for research on this or other approaches to improve accuracy.  --[[User:FGrose|FGrose]] 23:09, 22 August 2012 (EDT)
