Oh, I didn't mean that *I* am going to propose anything, I am wuite happy with the names and I doubt changing them will be seriously considered at the current stage.

Plenty of programs use names that are well-known, whether they always make sense or not. e.g 'Word' does more than just words. 'WordPerfect' can make mistakes. 'WordPro' can be used by amateurs too. 'Excel' does not always excel. '1-2-3' can manage big numbers too. 'PowerPoint' has nothing to do with AC electrical outlets. 'Photoshop' is about more than photographs. 'GIMP' can be used by normal people too. 'Paint.NET' does not require a brush. 'Firefox' has nothing to do with burning wild mammals. 'Chrome' is not an element. 'Scribus' is not just for midieval monks who copy manuscripts. 'Page Maker' isn't just for people who manufacture paper. 'Windows' isn't made of glass. 'Unix' can be used by anyone, not just eunuchs. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Archive: http://www.documentfoundation.org/lists/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

The changes--names and more--provoked some valuable dynamics amongst the entire Calligra team. One minor change--KPresenter was renamed Stage (singular). Taken together, the Calligra application names communicate some interesting perspectives on what the applications do. In the case of LibreOffice, changing the names of applications would be an unnecessary handicap. Some part of the value of the names is the continuity with OpenOffice.
