Suggestions....? I like name 'Nupedia'
because;
1) it is a brand we already own
true
2) we already control the .com and .org
true
3) while not as famous as the name
'Wikipedia', it still is known of by many
people (over 40,000 hits on Google)
true
4) it is easy to pronounce
hummm...true
5) the 'nu/new' connection relates to the
underlying concept (free content
created by a worldwide community of voluntary authors), not its age (thus it
will take the 'newness' a few hundred years to wear off - assuming that the
free content movement really takes hold).
hummm....nupedia has nothing to do with "newness" but with
"nakedness".
Let me think...living nake...is a sort of freedom...the freedom of not
following social norms, of being body free, caressed by soft wind,
perhaps free like a dolphin (or an orca ?) to play in the ocean ?
What does that means to me otherwise ?
Yes, the freedom of walking barefoot, without the fear of being cut by a
broken coca cola can.
However, what about the other Wikimedia projects?
Should we try to buy-up
other 'nu' domains? At first I thought it would be a great idea to have a
Wikimedia-owned publishing house called "Numedia" but alas that fine name is
taken
http://numedia.com/ (the .org is owned by somebody else). But 'Nubooks'
would work (.org and .com available)...
NumediaPublishing.org/com is
available but that name is too long.

Nakedquote
Naketionary .... hummmm....why not.

NuPied !!!!! Great name for a new project ?
Eclecticology, what do you think ?
