Contrast that with Google who can't seem to settle for a name: e.g. Google Talk, Hangouts, Messenger, Allo, Duo, Android Messages projects like KDE *really* should introduce rules that shitty application names which don't give anybody a clue about what the applications is supposed to do are prohibited, especially when consider ot replace knowen and logical named ones I understand your point - but many of the good names are probably already taken for something. Remember the issues Firefox had... first it was Phoenix, then it was Firebird, then it was Firefox - which was sufficiently obscure. Probably one of the last thing the KDE team wants to deal with is a copyright infringement claim
Phoenix, Firebird and Firefox are bad examples none of them gives a hint what type of application it is the same for "Spectacle" well, what, kSnapshot was not possible so simply name it "kScreenshot" and set Provides/Obsoletes kSnapshot, kdesvn, Kompare are good examples the "K" indicates it is a KDE or at least QT application it clearly states what the software is supposed to do you really need to sell me "Spectacle" if i don't know it already... _______________________________________________ kde mailing list -- kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kde-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
