Since Wiki is Hawaiian for "fast"...
here are some possible Hawaiian
terms...

Aka = shadow, reflection, etc.
hence: Akapedia

Haka = shelf
hence: Hakapedia (sounds like "Hack"!)

Pepa = paper
hence: Pepapedia 

Helu = read
hence: Helupedia

Puke = book
hence: Pukepedia 
         (Not very desirable!)

Kuiki (from Kapa kuiki) = quilt
hence: Kuikipedia, Kwikipedia

Well, maybe the Hawaiian connection
isn't such a good idea after all :-)

Since,
Jay B.
