How about "Longsight"? A "konqueror" is more powerful than an "explorer" and you can get more information with a "long sight" than with just an "outlook".

What do you think?

Only an idea (I posted it to the mailing-lists as well)

I second this suggestion. The "Everything has to start with K" thing is getting a bit old.

Kroupware name
by Charle de Miramon on Monday 23/Sep/2002, @15:33

Kroupware is partly German funded. Why not shake a little bit the tyranny of English and choose a German name for once ?

I vote for Bund, it is a nice simple German word and the name of an interesting Yiddish Socialist Party of the 19th century in Eastern Europe.

Cheers,
Charles

"Bund" is also the name of the german government. I don't think that the german government (they started the project!) want their software to be called "Bund" as well ;-)

"Foresight"...I think that's what you were searching for...

I agree - Foresight is an excellent name.

Of course, it's pretty much a given that the kind of people who use terms like Winblows, Linsucks and MSTurd (instead of MSWord), will immediately dub it Foreskin. Ah, the 3rd grade potty humor that has become accepted practice on the net. What a planet. :)

Komms (as in 'Comms Center')

or possibly Sextant, to keep on your Longsight theme

You get more info out of a sextant and a good map than a simple longsight.

Have fun,
Chris

Great idea. This name sounds a lot more professional than the ones with a "K" inside. Maybe the KDE team will get sued by K-Mart if it continues to use this letter in the names of their applications...
