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.

Could we make it a policy not to use names that are hard to understand and pronounce in anything but English ? Wikipedia was good, Wiktionary was bad, Wikiuniversity is not so bad except for final -ty, most of names on this list are horrible.

It's not that easy to pronounce in one word in English either. I pronounce it either like weakuniversity or wiki university, but I can't really make it one word because it just doesn't fit together. WikiU seems to work for me. LDan
