Eh... Atelier has also come up before. In fact, Inge Wallin (the KOffice 
marketing man and kchart hacker) has grabbed that domain in case we want to 
use it. But, well... It's got a 'k' in there. However, when given the choice 
between Tempera (Suite) and (K)Atelier, I'd still go for Tempera. It's much 
easier to pronounce for me when I have to give a presentation in English :-).
