Not bad! Some of them are really nice, especially "Compute". That's a
great idea, I think.

However, here are some alternative proposals for some of the other apps:

Calligra Writer - word processor
Calligra Planner - project planning


And "Clarity", I don't like that a lot. But this is difficult. We have
to do some brainstorming for that, I guess :)


PS:
I'd like to emphasize that the name "Calligra" was originally brought
up by my girlfriend, Myriam. So, I guess we should say: "Thanks
Myriam!"
