There's an even bigger opportunity here-- Make a brand new brand name that captures the ideology better than Wikipedia-Mediawiki-Wikimedia. Wikipedia's an encyclopedia, Mediawiki's the software, Wikimedia's the ISP-- and none of those names capture the "spirit of the movement". Coming up with a good brand name and associating it with our movement and our foundation-- whether the foundation ever changes its name formally or not, there should be a brand name for "Wikimedia projects, their users, and their allies". And unlike our other brand names, this one should actually be inspiring to people who don't already know what it means. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
