I think pre-splitting the tarballs is a great idea...   but I'd have to 
say that putting "Office" and "Creativity" on the same line is 
counter-productive...   Most people, especially primarily creative 
types, think of "Office" as the most anti-creative word around.

Naming is in general a hard thing...  One advantage companies like Apple 
have is a huge marketing group to come up with cool, compelling names.

I'm not a marketer - but as a product manager I've kinda had to do the 
same thing a bit.   I think short catchy names are important.   Compare 
"KDE Office Productivity" to "iWorks".

I must admit I'm not a big fan of the whole s/C/K/g approach to naming 
that permeates the KDE Kulture --- but maybe something as simple as 
"Kreate" for the creative component...
