User-Friendly Names

["John J. Boyer" <director chpi org>]

Hello,
For Gnome to really compete against Windows, the names of components on 
the desktop should be more descriptive. For example, i keep forgetting 
what Evolution does. I'm just studying Gnome, but I thought I should point 
this out before the exotic names became a habit.
This follows the path that Unix has been taking since the beginning - too 
much jargon. For example, nobody seems to know what "dired" means.
The non-descriptive names may seem interesting, but people who just want 
to use a computer to get their work done will appreciate names like "file 
Manager" instead of "Nautilus."
John
