[fedora-india] Announcing loki-0.11 release

[steve]

Hey Ankur,

Just a heads up, I remembered seeing the name in relation to linux software 
somewhere and did a quick google. Seems like there was a company named loki 
which used to distribute linux games. Although the company no longer exists, the 
software released by the company does[1]. Besides this there is also a C++ 
library with the same name and also a character named loki by Marvel Comics[2] 
(ie: existing name in related application domain). So, it might be a good idea 
to rename your application in the chance that your app. becomes wildly popular :).

cheers,
- steve
