This is short, nice in a URL, but useless in every other way. 

This is also a well known brand - Wrigley Extra Sugarfree gum - 
http://www.wrigley.com/wrigley/products/products_extra.asp

"google: svn extra" -> a mixed bag of crap
"google: kde svn extra" -> related, but still crap

As someone else said, this is redundant. About the only plus for it is the 
nice acronym: "keg-2". "eg" is too small. 'eg/net/konvi", I guess.

Consider: "/trunk/kdeextragear/multimedia/cdbakeoven"

"google: svn kdeextragear" -> well, it hits some emails and the CVS digest. 
But mostly its just noise.

> extragear

This is good. Its short, to the point, and the website is already 
"extragear.kde.org". Lets just keep the theme going. Some distributions even 
include 'extragear' packages. 

Its pretty much a KDE tradmark ("google: extragear -kde" and see what you come 
up with :-)

"google: svn extragear" -> First hit already on topic, way less noise in the 
rest. Its a clear field.


I vote +1 for 'extragear'. YAY for losing the -1 -2 -3!

Anyone taking bets how long it will take before we stop referring to "keg", 
and stop typing "kdee<tab>" into the console? :-)

Eli.
