Rename KDE Telepathy to XXXX
Backstory
When KDE Telepathy first started the original maintainer insisted that we should integrate completely into the workspace, and therefore have no user visible name.
This can be seen in most applications where simply say "IM Contact List", or even the path of this wiki page (which doesn't say telepathy anywhere)
The problem
In hindsight this doesn't really work. We need marketing, we need to show people where to get help in userbase, we need need brand awareness
Current Situation
The name sucks. It was never meant to be used publicly but has to be. However we have a brand, and a very positive reputation. Changing the name will throw all that away. It takes a long time to earn trust in open source.
Plus renaming is a _lot_ of effort :)
