I must say, I like how Android project has named itself. ”Qt for Android” or similar names would bring pretty ”ee, some kind of developer project” vibe, something not mature. So I’d hugely vote for this kind of naming. Qt, too, is just a brand, and doesn’t explain what it actually is.. -- Terveisin, Samu Voutilainen _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
