Re: About the terminology...

I don't believe in bothering to define "marketing", "promotion", "monopoly" 
etc. However I do think it's a great idea to make sure that the relevant main 
wiki page dedicated towards our own systems, like "Activities", "Promo-team", 
etc has a proper definition.

Here are a list of words off the top of my head I feel all users would be 
better off if they knew exactly what they meant:

Activity
Akonadi
Strigi
Nepomuk
Virtuoso
Soprano
Phonon
Xine
Plasmoid
Widget
KIO
Kontact
Qt
Qt Quick
Plasma
Plasma Active
Plasma Mobile
Plasma Netbook
