Hi again,

meanwhile I found an answer to the question that Aaron triggered, that is, how 
would be the general description of the manager/browser/controller/editor 
program like.

I think it would be something along
"People & Projects manager/browser/controller/editor". Or that ("projects" is 
still to narrow, I think, but well)

And once I got to the term people I found out that BeOS has an addressbook 
called "People" (interesting implementation detail: in BeOS the data about a 
person is stored as 0 byte big file, by using the extended file attributes to 
keep the data, together the so called "people files").

--- 8< ----------------------------------------------------------------

They all have something, for sure, I like especially "Embassy" and "swarm". 
But they all don't trigger satisfaction with me, sadly.
Still, which ones would with you?

An hour ago, when looking at the other KDE project names, the term
"Vivid"
came up. Hey, I think that would be it (don't ask me why, it's more a 
feeling). :)

But Google knows a lot of usages of that term (don't even look for 
vivid.org ;) in the computer and software world already. That proposes 
trademark trouble. Unless I call it KDE Vivid, perhaps?

What do you think/know here?

If you recommend me to not use Vivid, for any valid reason, I then would like 
to instead choose
"ხალხი".
Hehe. That is Georgian for "people", as in "group of persons". The official 
transcription to latin characters would be "Khalkhi" (which has two "k", 
great ;), the ISO one Xalxi. The term (and its explanation ;) would emphasize 
that KDE is not/don't want to be english/roman centric, and the term for sure 
will be googlable, as it seems not to be used as trademark, for what I can 
see, and not too widespread besides Georgia (ხალხი: 53.700 results, 
Xalxi:15.600 results, Khalki: only 653 results). And its semantic reflects 
what the framework is about.
Okay?

Vivid or Khalkhi or Xalxi?

Thanks for your help
Friedrich
