<font face="Arial">I second that Plasma and Aurora are contenders for
any new names. Corona would unerringly morph into Korona, as the pull
of the KDE naming konventions are strong. Both have a 'cool' factor,
and conjure the images we'd expect the new software to have. Fluidity,
translucency, dynamic,etc..other ideas? <br>
<br>
Thoughts on naming for 3.5/4.0? Depending on people's anxiousness to
singularly describe this new entity, that will help us determine how
fast naming should be discussed. And tee-shirt printers contacted.<br>

this is actually one of the names i tossed around when playing with plasma
alternatives myself =)
it's not bad... it's a softer name, though. inspirational and melodic ...

corona doesn't really convey the "cool" factor i'm hoping for. it's more
"grandios" and also has the beer associated ... =)
