"Phonon", "Akonadi" ? They must be continuing the trend we saw first in Gnome with "Ekiga" :-)

What's with the weird names ? :-) Posted May 4, 2006 20:13 UTC (Thu) by jospoortvliet (subscriber, #33164) [Link] i see a connection between plasma, solid and phonon - three states of matter. well, not entirely, aphonon is some kind of 'sound particle' (and again not really, but details aren't that important). akonadi is some goddess, they just liked the name. not sure what ekiga is, why it would be first in anything, etcetera...
btw visited the sites?
they are worth a visit...

So the name is a bad name for a library which deals both with audio AND video. At first glance when I heard about phonon, I thought that it was audio only..
