No more talking about Nepomuk to end users

Heya,

In KDE PIM (during the meeting last year in Osnabrück) it was decided that 
it would make sense to stop talking about Akonadi to the public. First of 
all, because Akonadi has gotten a bad rep and second, because it's a 
technical detail that makes no sense for end users.

Work has been put in to remove mentions of Akonadi (and Nepomuk) from the 
KDE PIM UI and to refer instead to the 'KDE PIM backend'.

I don't remember how much, if at all, this was discussed here. I think I 
wrote a mail but that's probably it. If so I'd hereby like to propose to do 
the same to Nepomuk. It's a technical detail and in announcements and the 
like it shouldn't be discussed. It's fine for blogs and other developer 
centric communication.

I already wrote the announcement this way, not thinking about the fact that 
this was never discussed, and noticed somebody added 'Nepomuk' to all 
mentions of the 'semantic storage backend'. Noticing how uncomfortable it 
looks to talk about "nepomuk (semantic storage and search backend)" or 
"semantic storage and search backend (nepomuk)", I thought this might be a 
good time :D

As far as I can tell, this change has already been done in a few places in 
the UI: I see the applet mention 'search', 'desktop search' or 'search 
service'. The menu of the applet still mentions 'Nepomuk controller' and the 
window shows 'Nepomuk Repository details', as does the control module (which 
is, however, for 'desktop search') so it'd be nice to have Vishesh and other 
Nepomuk devs on board on this to start change this in the UI as well.

What do others think?

/Jos
