<i>Yes the K in Kollaboration is on purpose hehe. ;) ;)</i>

Argh! Am I the only one who hates this excessive use of the work K?

It's like a more mild form of l337. It isn't cool!

There have been some sane names: appeal, plasma, quanta (thank god it's not 'kuanta'), umbrello and so on, but most of the K names are like horribly contrived acronyms. Examples:

aKode
amoraK
Kontact
Kuickshow

Some of them are less offensive:

Kile
KDevelop
JuK

Please! Application name choosers! Think of the children!

Kollaboration is a koncept kreated by kinda klever people klaiming to have fun while kooroperating with others. Keep in mind that Kollaborating is kool and helps kut down on the kalamity the applikation devel faces konstantly. It should also be futher knoted and taken into konsideration that the K in Kollaboration was chosen mostly for fun and the humor faktor. K? ;)
