Ok, good to know.

Yeah, I agree. I personally like the name Phonon and Okular, I think they work 
nice.

Yeah, KHTML will link to the library at somepoint, so it's definitely in that 
area. The library will likely itself have a dependency on kdelibs/kxmlcore.

However, I don't mind if the name is independent, I don't think it's a 
drawback if the name cannot be associated back to Webkit/KHTML. "WebQuest"? 
"WebRequest"? Nah, must be something else..

Yeah, kde-quality is a bit of strange list already; it's not really about QA, 
it is this list which new KDE contributors appear on(imho), nicely started by 
Carlos. So, my thought was that I could reach entuastic people. I don't think 
one needs a technical background(which people on kfm-devel have, for example) 
for suggesting a good name, just a different background so one can suggest 
something new.

What list is better? kde-devel?


Cheers,
