Carsten,

That google link doesn't confuse at all. At no point is the onus on MeeGo,
it is infact always stressed tjat it is an openSUSE effort.

I'm not saying all users are able to use their brain, but the majority
will.  I know of at least one occaision when a Smeegol user asked for some
help on #meego, but it was for a valid reason - he was trying to get
information to fix displau issues on Nvidia graphics, which he subsequently
fixed and filed a submit request so that all other users can benefit. Try
doing that on the closed build system that MeeGo operates ;-)

Common sense is all that is required to be applied. I had asked the question
about names well in advance of release but no-one was able to provide an
answer or a timeline to an answer.
