Hi all,

I made some edits to the Alpha notes page at
http://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt-5-Alpha, and to the lists of essential and
add-on modules that we have in the wiki.

My edits well mainly about following the module name spelling guideline at
[1], and especially avoiding references to the module repository names,
which are considered internal implementation details.

I changed Qt Quick 3D into Qt 3D. I replaced "Qt Systems" and "Qt PIM"
with the individual modules. I removed Qt Connectivity, because Qt
Bluetooth is the only module from that repo that we have. I don't think
there's a Qt Doc gallery module in Qt 5.0 so I deleted that.

The documentation talks about the "Qt PIM" module, which is confusing.
This guide should be written as a high-level tutorial on Personal
Infomation Management and on these related modules, but the collection
should not be explained as a module, because it doesn't work like a module
in the code or in the .pro files etc. I created
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-24902

I also improved the rows for Qt WebKit in essentials and Qt WebKit Widgets
under add-ons, based on the recent discussion on webkit-qt.

Is Phonon going to be a part of the Alpha release? If it is, it should
probably be called "Phonon" rather than Qt Phonon.

The lists still need some work...


Cheers,
Henry
