Age is truly catching up on me, but maybe that means that I also represent a 
large group of users.  The kind of naming in promotion that we see now is 
hugely confusing.  The truth is that Kontact is still a Personal Information 
Manager, and people still need their Mail, Addressbook, Diary/Calendar and 
Task List - simple terms that they understand.  Views mean nothing to me in 
this context.  They are not different ways of looking at the same data.  They 
are interlinked sets of data, which is quite different, in my mind at least.

Please don't get too abstract - it's not necessary.  The product is good 
enough to stand on its own feet, without hype like this.
