Description Allan Day 2015-10-28 11:16:08 UTC 
The initial list of input methods is supposed to include the most popular input methods, in order to reduce the amount of work for users. Right now, it's doing the opposite.

What I see in 3.18:

Cameroon Multilingual (Dvorak)
Cameroon Multilingual (querty)
English (Cameroon)
English (Canada)
English (Colemak)
English (UK)

This is unhelpful, and means that users will pretty much always have to dig down to find the input method they want.
Comment 1 Allan Day 2016-02-17 12:54:54 UTC 
The initial shortlist of input methods shown in the control center's add input source dialog is really good. We should probably just use that.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2017-08-21 19:04:56 UTC 
The latter is now probably called "Input Sources" under "Regio & Language".
