Hi everyone,
while writing up a vision for Plasma interaction, the VDG noticed that it was 
unclear exactly what terms to use when referring to Plasma Desktop 
specifically, so we thought it would make sense to clarify this.

Therefore, we went ahead and drafted some communication guidelines I'd like to 
present for discussion:

- When talking about the the Plasma technology generically, use only "Plasma", 
omitting the "5" as that is just an iteration of Plasma.

- When talking about a particular version of the technology, but not a 
specific shell, use "Plasma [version]" e.g. "Plasma 5.1".

- When talking about the a specific shell but not about a specific version, 
use "Plasma [shell], e.g. "Plasma Desktop"

- When talking about a specific shell in a particular version, use  "Plasma 
[version] [shell]" e.g. "Plasma 5.2 Desktop", "Plasma 5.4 Active"

For example in release announcement we'd talk about the Plasma 5.2 release and 
when there are shell specific changes we could write "Plasma Desktop now has 
addition X"

Does that make sense to everyone? And if so: Where should we publish it and 
where should we announce it?

Cheers,
Thomas
