Hi,

I don't use 'stuff' in KHangMan, I use 'Get data in a new language' which is a 
bit too long but it'll be something like that. I use 'data' instead of 
'stuff' which I don't like very much. 'stuff' is an english word I did not 
learn at school and seldom employed in the real life (when I lived in 
England) and it seems too vague and colloquial. Used with 'hot' reinforces 
this.
Not being a native english speaker I did not challenge it but as the subject 
is brought, I'd like to propose 'data' instead of 'stuff' in Get New Data 
instead of Get Hot New Stuff. For the lib name, KNewData is not so good, I 
don't have a better idea right now...

At the moment, we use KNS in KOrganizer for adding calendars, in KHangMan for 
text (language data) and KLettres for sounds (language data) and in some game 
for extra levels. That can indicate what the 'stuff' is at the moment.

Just my 2 CAD cents,

annma
