Meta discussion: input sources support evalution
This is a sub-thread of #1049 (closed). Currently Software allows someone to install additional input sources, either by browsing to add-ons->input sources or through search. Questions about this: is it useful? Do people use it? Are there any important issues that need resolving?
One obvious issue I can see - there's no link from the input sources settings to the input sources section in Software. This means that, if someone is trying to add an input source and it's missing, there's no indication that they could install more.
Overall my fairly uninformed impression is that input source installation generally shouldn't be needed (assuming that the system was installed with the input sources that are required), but there could be odd cases where you might need to add one (mostly related to multi-user scenarios - a family member comes to visit, and they use a different input source, etc). Input sources likely aren't very discoverable at the moment but the aforementioned link in Settings would resolve that.
