.wiki is more likely to happen than .pedia. Apparently the person who bought wiki.com is pushing for it.

Why not use .info - surely that is what the domain is for?
.wiki is certainly a bad idea as it tells me nothing about the content or purpose of the site.

Strictly speaking, .info and .net (other common approaches to that) don't do that either. :-)
I rather like .wiki, actually.
I wish they'd just get the hell out of the way, put some business and technical restraints in place, and open the TLD namespace.

Well, they do have an intended meaning, even if that isn't stuck too. I admit that without enforcing the meaning of the TLD then it becomes pretty useless as a descriptor. If all information sites (and only information sites) had .info domains then that would surely be a good thing. I guess the problem is that until the golden ideal of a ".com address" is removed from people's minds then any other TLD is always a less-than-ideal second choice. :-(

I'd quite like .clements, then my website could be www.mark.clements - doesn't mean it's a good idea.

In other words, remove the TLD namespace altogether.
