I don't like the pural formal :) since in English adjectives do not take an "s". An example that maybe makes it more obvious: FileManager. A FileManager doesn't manage a single file but several. > - farm-manager: it describes what we do with XWiki -- wiki farm > hosting -- but it is not a good global name, as most people will not > host a "farm", and won't like the term. I don't like it either since the goal is not to manage Farms but to manage Wikis. And Farm is not perfect since it can mean different things. > - multiwiki-manager: a better name than the first proposal, since it > shows that it manages more wikis; just 'multiwiki' might give the > impression that it adds multiwiki support. The goal is not to manage mutiwikis but just wikis but I think it's the best name so far. Note that I actually like "multiwiki" too! > - virtual-manager: Not so good, as the term "virtual wiki" is > something we use internally, I don't know if other people will > understand what 'virtual' stands for.

Agree "virtual" is a bad name since its meaning is not obvious. > So, I'd say +1 for multiwiki-manager. "multiwiki" isn't so bad after all... ;) I'm also fine with multiwiki-manager and wiki-manager.
