Blueprint changed by Ma Jun:

Whiteboard changed:
+ [Background information]
+ The objective of the UbuntuKylin project is to create a variant of Ubuntu that is more suitable for Chinese users. So a good Chinese input method is a key factor of UbuntuKylin. At present there are a variety of Chinese input method in Ubuntu and each of them has its own characteristics and fixed user group. Ibus and fictx are the most two popular ones. We should choose one as default in UbuntuKylin.
+ 
  It seems that Kubuntu team is also doing the evaluation on ibus vs.
  fcitx, https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-r-kubuntu-
  development, but this work item is still 'TODO'.
+ 
+ [Topics to be discussed]
+ - Fcitx is really better than ibus, seen from user experience and technology?
+ - What is the effect of switching ibus to fcitx as default, such as control center, dash and so on?
+ - What is the coping strategy of input method in Unity Next?
