[Kst] Bugzilla Versions

[Ben Lewis]

  I like really KST because it's short but acronyms can be hard to remember... was it KST, KTS or KSB?

Maybe giving it a meaning would make it more memorable e.g. Kde Scientic Trending.

If you're looking for ideas proplot.com and testplot.com are available.

Cheers, Ben
