I'm not sure about the nostalgia around the i, but I still think we can do better, and I'm going to sleep on it. I say we open this up to more people (I think I accidentally e-mailed only you, so I'm correcting that), through the Village Pump and other means. Sound good to you?

Well, it's a start, but it could still use some work, IMO. That's not a bad idea to play with the last i, however, but I think it could be something along the lines of WikInfinity, or similar.

Totally. If all else fails, my default is going to be WikiFest (or Wikifest).

Agreed. I'm not crazy about the name, but it is a good, up-beat alternative to WikiMania, and I'm guessing no one has secured the domains yet? (ugh...after a quick google, Wikifest.com and .org are both registered... and the only other mentions are of Wikis in other languages, part of WikiMedia). I'd say our next step is to find out who owns them...
