Renaming Nepomuk-KDE to "Braid" (or not?)

[Sebastian Trüg]

Hi guys,

sorry for bringing this up again, but I am just not happy with "Braid". So now 
I propose either

"Loom"
(still somewhat related to braid and in the end KMetaData is used to "weave 
the information"; only problem: people might confuse it with a popular 
game... )

"Knoten"
(german word for knot, I think it sounds good and KMetaData ties knots between 
information...)

What do you think?

Cheers,
Sebastian
