I'm very happy that other people think the same about this topic.
Currently the E17 user base is not really small, but I think it'll
really grow if a first stable is released. But what do users think if
they walk through the menu and see applications like "entropy"? (It's a
really nice application, so no flame about the app! And I know entropy
is in proto, so not offical supported, but anyway...)

I know what entropy is in science. I had some courses at university
where "entropy" was on-topic. And it has *nothing* to do with a file
manager. :-)

In gnome is geyes labeled with "Bildbetrachter" (english: Image
Viewer). And you could even come from geyes to a image viewer if think
a little about the name.

With enropy people would perhaps expect a science application or
something else. So I think we end in a situation where the menu entries
show some localized names of what the application does. Without
new E users couldn't understand only from the name what the apps do.

Andreas
