I thought the root was ped from the Latin pedis which means foot. I'm not 
sure where "pedophila" came from. "Ped" is the root of many other words. 
Shall we not use those either? Boy I thought I was paranoid about ultra minor 
things. I vote for PediaWiki because it has a certain ring to it -- this 
would just be the name of the software and any ref to it will be a couple 
levels in from the main page.
