I'd like to add a big (HUGE) +1 here. I'm reading several mailing lists (some less to get less distracted from my diploma thesis ;-) and it's great to see what your doing and accomplishing atm.

Correct. The SC was just an engineering/technical term. It was never intended to us in promo communication or for end users (of our apps, not our libs). See all the recent release announcement. There we never used SC. > We'd like to put heavy accent on *not* using KDE anymore in around the > workspace releases, so no more KDE Plasma, but just "Plasma", possibly with > "by KDE" touch.

So just "Dolphin" or "Dolphin by KDE".
