历史
Fcitx 是从Yuking创建的一个叫做gWubi的项目发展衍生而来的。Yuking本身是一个五笔输入法用户，所以最开始的fcitx仅仅只支持五笔输入法。
最开始，gWubi没有使用SCM进行源代码控制，所以早期的代码历史仅仅只能在旧的tarball压缩包中找到。ZhouShuqun仍然在维护一个所有fcitx的源代码压缩包镜像，可以从这里进行下载。
Zhoushuqun add initial fcitx commit record on Google code's subversion, which is barely only source of tarball. When Yuking restarted Fcitx development, he also started to use Google Code, so this Google code repository become real official site. Zhoushuqun在谷歌代码的subversion上添加了初始fcitx 代码提交记录，这几乎是唯一的tarball来源。
Fcitx's source control moves from Subversion, and Mercurial, and finally to Git. Since Google Code is not the best site for Git, CSSlayer decides to use github.com for all future Fcitx development.
Name story of Fcitx
The old full name of Fcitx is "Free Chinese Input Tool of X". This concept couldn't fit Fcitx future development and might bring misunderstanding, since Chinese is not the only object of Fcitx, so CSSlayer start a rename discussion on fcitx-dev Google groups, to keep the Fcitx as name but use a different full name.
At the same time, there were some others raised complain about Fcitx cannot be pronounced, so [ˈfaɪtɪks] was decided to be the offical pronounce, and still, "小企鹅输入法" will be the offical Chinese name, though the Chinese name have nothing to do with Any full name by meaning, it only comes from the penguin logo.
So there will be no single official full name of Fcitx, but you can take any name below, in order to reflect all aspects of Fcitx.
- Flexible Context-aware Input Tool with eXtension
- FanCy Input Tool for *niX
- Forthcoming CJK Input Toy Xtreme
- Free Character Input Toy of *niX
- Fcitx Can Input Text in *niX
Disturbance
There was some criticism on Fcitx code quality and coding style, which was a prelude for Yuking stopping Fcitx development. Yuking restarted the development since 2008.10.8.
