Yeah, and being bold is exactly what people told me when I came in wp.

"Nupedia" feels a little bit like a name for English-speaking geeks and I
wish the project could gather more and more wikipedians from any other
horizons, not only computer adicted geeks like me, that why  I would prefer
an elegant self explaining name (or subtitle). Wikipedia 0.1 is going
outside in the world for the first time and should not forget its dinner
jacket!
