Karbon (formerly Karbon14, Kontour, and KIllustrator) is a vector graphics editor. It is a component of Calligra Suite, an integrated graphic art and office suite by KDE. The name is a play on KDE and the radioactive isotope Carbon-14.
On 26 February 2012, the lead developer clarified on the Calligra development mailing list that the application’s name is simply "Karbon" without "14".[1]
As of March 2020, the project is not supported and looking for maintainer.
- ^ H., Jan (2012-02-26). "Karbon or Karbon14?". calligra-devel (Mailing list).
So lets make it official and written down what was done in practice anyway: drop the 14 from the name.
