Thanks for the updates! Some comments:

fcitx vs. ibus:
  * "it provides more efficient and intelligent input experience"
    .. compared to what? ibus with sunpinyin/googlepinyin etc.? This
    still doesn't describe how you want to fix the indicator,
    control-center, language-selector etc. wrt. input configuration,
    as they all assume ibus.

  * "it provides skin options and more developing input engines, such
    as cloud-pinyin and google-pinyin"

    This suggests that fcitx also just uses the various Pinyin input
    flavours, which ibus wraps as well?

System assistant:
  * "show processes of system, show task list;  show the running
    information, such as memory, CPU, disk, etc"

    gnome-system-monitor does all that and is installed by default. So
    perhaps this just reduces to making this more discoverable?

  * "manage tasks that auto-booting, to speed up booting time"

   We once had a GUI for this, but it got removed because too many
   users wrecked their system with it. With both my TB and Desktop
   hats on I would not recommend adding an UI to manage upstart
   jobs, it's a guarantee for people to shoot themselves into the
   foot. If there are particular bottlenecks during boot, they should
   be fixed instead of switching off potentially crucial
   functionality IMHO.

  * "scan and remove garbage files"

    As already discussed, having a GUI like computer-janitor would be
    highly useful indeed.

  * "mount/unmount/manage mobile devices"

    Not sure what this is about, but for creating, formatting,
    mounting etc. there is GNOME disks already installed by default.
    mobile devices should be covered by gvfs mostly (PtP, MtP, UMS).

These details don't necessarily all need to go to the main UbuntuKylin
page of course. Do you have some subpages for the individual goals, or
perhaps LP blueprints/bugs?

Thanks,

Martin
