Hey, it's perfectly disambiguated: the second is Qt (lowercase t ;-) While stable scripting APIs are indeed desirable for script authors, replacing confusing names by expressive ones in a consistent way is also a good idea if not done too frequently, and maybe changes should be tracked or announced. Maybe a converter script for old scripts to use the new names would help (sed/awk anybody?). The problem is often getting started for newcomers. What's working, what are the primary concepts (for wide user base, plus an insight part for experts), and for programmers how to make your own modules script-aware. Is there a concise documentation of the currently usable scripting commands?
