Could this framework maybe get a better name in KF6? "Purpose" is pretty meaningless (and yes I know the history :) ) compared to the very descriptive names of frameworks like ktexteditor, knewstuff, kitemmodels, etc.
I agree that the name is meaningless
and yes I know the history :)
What history specifically?
I wonder how we should go about renaming a framework. Meaning it affects the namespaces, classes and builsystem.
It's supposed to be something similar to Android's intents.
It's a framework that will offer you several purposes that it can fulfill transparently and do so upon request.
That could mean literally anything though; it still doesn't tell help anyone figure out what it does. :)
It's basically a user-facing data sharing system; IMO the name should somehow imply that. KUserFacingDataSharingFramework LOL
