Wikiscope/Name

I originally thought of Wikiscope, as it sounds nice and gives the idea of both Wikimedia and that it is a view of all the projects (like telescope). But this is, of course, debatable. Here are the suggestions. Feel free to add your own.

Wikiscope

Idea

Wiki like Wikimedia, scope like telescope.

Pros

Sounds nice IMHO, easy to remember.

Cons

Ambiguous.

Comments

Wikiwatch

Idea

Wiki like Wikimedia, watch because it watches all the other projects.

Pros

Alliterative, easy to remember.

Cons

Very ambiguous.

Comments

It also sounds like a watchdog organization. --Cromwellt|talk|contribs 06:21, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Wikindex

Idea

Wiki like Wikimedia, index because it indexes all the other projects by topic.

Pros

easy to remember.

Cons

the word "kind" jumps out; may not be translatable into non-roman alphaets

Comments

Bit too much like WIKINDX, http://wikindx.sourceforge.net

Wikiview

Idea

A wiki that gives an overview over all Wikimedia projects.

Pros

"View" is a simple word and is very widely known, its meaning is obvious.

Cons

May be difficult to pronounce for the non-english-speaking people.
