Ah, okay, sorry, do not yet have a complete picture of all the people involved 
in Calligra, so misassumed here.

Hm. Just that this blurs the real name a little. If I had to decide, I would 
insist in the full name everywhere, no made up short forms.

After all the LibreOffice authors use the short forms you mention themselves, 
see e.g. http://www.libreoffice.org/features/writer/

This is different in Calligra. Its e.g. always "Calligra Words". Oh wait, not. 
At least the urls are just calligra.org/words/, the icon on the first page 
have just a short form, and the big picture on e.g. calligra.org/words/ also 
has just "Words" in it. Leftovers, or still current state?

And calligra.org/flow/ is unsure if the full name is "Calligra Flow" or 
"Flow". Same for "Calligra Plan".

userbase.kde.org/Calligra also needs an update, in any case. Anyone working on 
this, and would coordinate what is updated by whom? I would spent some time on 
that, tonight.

In general, other real Calligra devs and especially the Calligra marketing 
people should better chime in here, while I chime out :)

Cheers
