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 just want to say that I agree completely. We're in
the process of branding a name here. "Wikipedia 1.0"
seems perfect to me. It shows that it's stable and
includes the same name. "Wikipedia 2004" could also
be used if we want to publish a new stable version
every year like traditional encyclopedias.
There's a number of naming issues here; the name for the frozen version,
and the name for the project of creating that version.
In terms of naming the frozen version, I prefer Wikipedia 2004 to
Wikipedia 1.0.
