Just a suggestion before our mailboxes explodes... why not
discussing
this on WIKI ?
You list names, and add comments under names.
Because that'd be a good idea.... In all seriousness, I think that's what
should be done next, probably on Meta, with posts to different language
wiki's Village Pumps.
[Kereluk, Darren L.] Works for me! I would like to thank the community for
this very interesting exchange of ideas, regardless where the discussion is
moved next.
And yes, I think World Wide Wiki might be a kinda cool name, but we'll keep
searching.
[Kereluk, Darren L.] It might be yet possible to use a compound name using
the wiki prefix and a root that is already used elsewhere. While the "world"
one is certainly catchy, it's already in use for two other events; thus if
somebody came up with something like Chris Pirillo did when he named his
Gnomedex event based on the Comdex event, it might be possible to do the
same here at no cost for "borrowing" the root word, especially since the
Foundation is a non profit organisation.
I've tried to come up with some more suggestions for names, but to be
brutally honest, they are quite craptacular, even if they are "available".
(wikifete, wikissembly, wikimirers) The only one that is slightly less
craptacular than the others is WikiAgerie--a play on the word menagerie.
