Hi all.

I would like to present my thoughts about the entities in the doc
(like &microsoft;).

As we are approaching the final KDE3.0 I think NOW is the 
perfect time to fix all know problems with it. I am especially
worried about the GUI. In the GUI are tons of application
names like Noatun/noatun instead of  and I am sure this
is the very same for MicroSoft (tm) and others.
Lauri told me that eg &microsoft; wouldn't work on the GUI.

Ok, so the only way out of it is this:
All translators should report the missuse of a trademark/application
name to somebody (Malcolm, Lauri, I don't know). As we 
are now starting to proofread everything (at least I am) this is
really a good chance of cleaning up the mess. I am volunteering
for kde-multimedia (GUI).

Questions: 
Is this realistic
To whom shall we report?
Is this a-good-thing (tm)?

Carsten
