Some nice and funny project names have been mentioned already. Impressing how 
many people associate different things with the kde-debian initiative.

But more importently many nice things are in the works and look for a place 
for presentation. Of course, everybody loves news and previews so a common 
web site and a live CD would be great.

In order to avoid unecessary maintanance load for the Live CD I agree it would 
be good to work with a modular project like Morphix. Allowing to maintain a 
kde-debian module and providing live employments of new kde-debian stuff this 
way. Putting out a more standalone CD could run the risk to become just yet 
another distribution and tie up a lot of manpower outside of Debian and KDE. 
(And I think that was disscussed in great detail with UserLinux already)

KDE and Debian people readily agreed on points that needed attention not only 
for "Conquering the (Enterprise) Desktop" [1]. The kde-debian initiatve to 
polish the edges was born. But does that need to be a separate project with 
its own name, not to risk the term brand? After all is it not a general cool 
integrated and versatile Free Software Desktop we want to see upstream in 
Debian and more wide spread in the future. Possibly with a graphical d-i 
frontend.

An altenative to selecting a new name could be to do a little coordination 
with the Debian-Desktop group [2].  Kde-debian covers much of the general and 
KDE site of it. What about sticking to "The kde-debian initiative" that gets 
the work done without being $kde-debian.com?

Cheers,
Christian
