I can think up with the several following names: Technopedia, Techpedia, Wikitech, Technowiki, Techiki, Howtopedia, Inventionary. Which one to choose? Projects like Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikibooks, Wikiquote gained popularity because of the popularity of Wikipedia. However, it seems the other projects are not so popular as the Wikipedia. Why? Perhaps because they don't have so important goals embedded into them as Wikipedia do. There is no underlying great goal to achieve. To make a dictionary is not such a great goal than to organize knowledge. To collect quotes is either. Another reason might be the name: only the wikipedia is "pedia", which implies encyclopedia, and encyclopedia is a great thing. The other names of projects are only derivatives from Wikipedia. It's wiki[something] : wi

  • I can think up with the several following names: Technopedia, Techpedia, Wikitech, Technowiki, Techiki, Howtopedia, Inventionary. Which one to choose? Projects like Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikibooks, Wikiquote gained popularity because of the popularity of Wikipedia. However, it seems the other projects are not so popular as the Wikipedia. Why? Perhaps because they don't have so important goals embedded into them as Wikipedia do. There is no underlying great goal to achieve. To make a dictionary is not such a great goal than to organize knowledge. To collect quotes is either. Another reason might be the name: only the wikipedia is "pedia", which implies encyclopedia, and encyclopedia is a great thing. The other names of projects are only derivatives from Wikipedia. It's wiki[something] : wikibooks, wikiquotes etc. So, even if it would be the shortest way to name it "Wikitech", I don't see it being such small project. It should be "pedia", as it's encyclopedia (of technologies). Hence, best name would be "Technopedia", but it is already registered. Deriving from "How To Engineer It", it could also be "Howtopedia", but it's not an international word, as well as the word "invention". I see only "Techpedia" remaining. Even though with emited "no", it carries the same meaning (hi-tech, tech-pedia?), and - even better - it has not more letters than "Wikipedia" has, it can easily be pronunced at least in English and Japanese. So, even though "Technopedia" would be the best name for it, it will perhaps be "Tech-pedia". Any ideas? [need to post it to ml later] --Inyuki 16:17, 26 Mar 2005 (EST) From HowTo Wiki, a Wikia wiki.
