Earlier:
If Mediawiki had been named Mediawiki Engine, and Wikimedia had been named
Wikimedia Organization, part of the current confusion for outsiders would
already have gone.
They may not understand from the name what kind of engine, of what kind of
organization, but they will have less trouble to tell these terms apart.
Eh I realize that example was not well chosen. I take it back ;-)
People would of course confuse Wikimedia Organization (the movement)
with Wikimedia Foundation (the organization).
