Welcome to the Wiki of the UbuntuKylin Desktop Team

The objective of the UbuntuKylin project is to create a variant of Ubuntu that is more suitable for Chinese users. We are committed to provide you with a delicate, thoughtful and fully customized Chinese user experience out-of-the-box. For instance, by providing a desktop user interface localized in Chinese and installing common software that Chinese users commonly use by default. We are applying to be an official recognition as a formal member of the Ubuntu family, commencing with UbuntuKylin 13.04.
