[Panel-devel] name for kde4

[Wade Olson]

I second that  Plasma and Aurora are contenders for any new names.  
Corona would unerringly morph into Korona, as the pull of the KDE naming 
konventions are strong.  Both have a 'cool' factor, and conjure the 
images we'd expect the new software to have.  Fluidity, translucency, 
dynamic,etc..other ideas?

Thoughts on naming for 3.5/4.0?  Depending on people's anxiousness to 
singularly describe this new entity, that will help us determine how 
fast naming should be discussed.  And tee-shirt printers contacted.
