Today there was an announcement that KOffice got a new name (Calligra) and they also renamed some of the Applications. "KWord" became "Words", "KSpread" became "Tables" and "KPresenter" was renamed to "Stages".
I was wondering whether such a name change has been considered for the LibreOffice Applications. The point is that I don't really like the current names. I'm not a Name Designer, but Writer, Calc and Impress don't really sound good in my ears and I would even say that most people using OpenOffice would not know the names of the Applications they are using, only that it's OpenOffice. If LibreOffice changed the names of the Applications shipping, that might also help people to differentiate between OpenOffice and LibreOffice in Future. Here a comparison of the names of text processing, spreadsheet and presentation program of six Office Suites: MS Office: Word, Excel, PowerPoint Apple iWork: Pages, Numbers, Keynote Calligra(former KOffice): Words, Tables, Stages Softmaker Office: Textmaker, Planmaker, Presentations Corel WordPerfect Office: WordPerfect, Quattro Pro, Presentations OpenOffice.org: Writer, Calc, Impress I think MS Office, iWork and now Calligra have the best names for their applications. It's easy to spell and easy to remember. I would like to hear what everyone else is thinking about changing names for LibreOffice applications.
