Hello everyone,

I'm new to this list, so I'm sorry if you have already been trough what 
I have to say.

Looking at greek mythology could be a fine source for inspiration. 
Sticking with your weaving theme, I found:

- Jason who tried to steal the golden fleece (but there's already 
javascript object notation: json)

- Chrysomallos who's fleece Jason tried to steal (could be easily 
kde-ified as krysomallos)

-  Arachne an excellent weaver, who even beat the gods at it

Browsing through wikipedia (or for those of us with classical education, 
through memory) will bring up even more alternatives.

Have a nice time.
