This keyboard is heavily based on the standard Russian keyboard. Our rationale for this is that Russian and Even both use cyrillic with only two characters differing. This makes it very convenient, as most Even speakers are also Russian speakers so they are already familiar with the layout.

Installation
To use the keyboard download the file from the github repository and put it in the ~/.m17n.d directory.
A more detailed instruction might be helpful. It's supposed to be directed to someone who has never used iBus before. Also, add a license in both wiki and gitbus repo. -TD

Justification
This keyboard is heavily based on the standard Russian keyboard. Our rationale for this is that Russian and Even both use cyrillic with only two characters differing. This makes it very convenient, as most Even speakers are also Russian speakers so they are already familiar with the layout. However, this also has unfortunate implications in that as it is based on Russian, it tends toward colonialism. However, this keyboard is primarily meant for use within this class, so we chose to continue on with our original keyboard layout.
Which two characters are differing? What change did you make? -TD
