[Wikipedia-l] A quick thought about 1.0

[Erik Zachte]

Wikipedia is in the process of becoming a household name. 
I am confident that in a year's time it will be a name that is as well
known as or better than Britannica and Encarta.
 
I think it would be too bad if we cause confusion by introducing a new
name for a printed edition.
Image Britannica had called their online version "Amerannica", what a
waste PR wise.
 
In my view people will be less confused when online and printed
Wikipedia differ in content under the same name.
Online Brittanica is also different from printed edition, because of
regular updates of the online version.
