Hi,
I've decided to rename MathematiK to Kantor (after Georg Cantor, the creator 
of set theory). I have a local checkout where the names are replaced, but 
what's the best way to commit it? Should I first commit the renamings, then 
rename the subdir in playground/edu (and move to kdereview at a second 
moment), or should I just skip the renaming of the subdir, and directly move 
trunk/playground/mathematik to /trunk/kdereview/kantor? What's the best way to 
do this renaming? How about the translations (at which point should 
messages.sh export to kantor.po istead of mathematik.po?) Is there anything 
else that needs to be done?

thanks,
Alexander
