I know that the name "Wikibooks" was thought of and promoted by me, but that
was before we really knew where we wanted to go with this project (become an
educational resource). The word "Wikipedia" is obviously the name of an
encyclopedia and the word "Wiktionary" is obviously the name of a dictionary.
But "Wikibooks" doesn't bring anything specific in mind. So what does
everybody think of the name "Wikiuniversity"? Our aim is to create a huge
educational resource and I think that such a name would be more fitting to
such an endeavor.
