疑问：新的维基旅游项目可以被称为Wikivoyage吗？[edit]

背景[edit]

WikiVoyage是由Wikivoyage e.v.组织并主办的一家独立运营的旅游项目。Wikivoyage e.v.是一个非营利性组织，其总部位于德国。WikiVoyage e.v.最近决定谈判转让WikiVoyage业务（包括域名）给维基媒体基金会。

在此期间，维基媒体基金会董事会决定推出维基媒体旗下的旅游项目。

为启动该项目的首批决定之一即是决定该新项目是否应称为Wikivoyage，或拟定其他新名称。如果选择后者将把整合现有Wikivoyage项目大大复杂化。因为其要说服社群及非营利性组织支持这一新的名称，同时要接受法律的核准。

此外，以任何公开流程去决定一个新的名称也可能导致一些问题。通常情况下，选择名称的过程都是保密的，以确保选择出来的名称的域名并未被占用，及没有第三方注册了该商标，以避免高额的收购费。Wikivoyage的名称久已确立（自2006年以来，该项目就已开始运作），持有该名称的非营利性组织也已承诺支持维基媒体基金会整合其业务的想法。

因此，维基媒体基金会表示优先考虑以Wikivoyage的名称命名新的旅游计划，而非选择名称。随着中说，我们想要以一个非正式投票开始这一过程。如果大多数人都反对使用这一名称，我们则考虑展开一个无期限的命名流程（这将给两方面带来风险：一是是否能成功的将Wikivoyage迁移至维基媒体基金会，二是是否能充分保障的名称）。

投票项[edit]

选项1：以WikiVoyage命名新的旅游项目[edit]

This assumes that WMF will be able to negotiate a migration of WikiVoyage operations to WMF servers, and a transfer of the domain name.

Support - The Wikivoyage association made a decision to negotiate with the WMF and make a transfer of domain name and data possible. Wikivoyage is a well established and known project and about to apply as a Thematic Organization. -- DerFussi (talk) 06:18, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I prefer this, as it acknowledges the efforts by the Wikivoyage community to-date, and avoids wading into trademark/domain name issues with a new name that has yet to be established. (I don't think it diminishes the efforts of others wanting to join to adopt the identity of an existing project.) Eloquence (talk) 06:21, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Unless somebody comes with a good alternative name -- Tinu Cherian - 06:49, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support Keep the Wikivoyage name. To Yann, "Voyage" is a recognizable English word as well. Keegan (talk) 06:51, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support It's an established name that works across different languages, and the people currently running Wikivoyage are ready to join the Wikimedia family as a whole (community, content, trademark, association). This will make things so much easier. As a side effect, chosing the name of an already existing project helps avoiding the false impression that the new Wikimedia project is all about forking Wikitravel. -- Arne (akl) (talk) 07:24, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support What Arne said.--Strainu (talk) 07:36, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

选项2：开始一个无期限命名流程以确定新的名称[edit]

意见[edit]

WikiVoyage seems strange to me, it looks very much French. ;o) I would expect an English name, but I don't mind this proposition. Yann (talk) 06:28, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Voyage comes for french, but it is also an English word. I think the second definition at the link is very appropriate for the scope of this site.--Strainu (talk) 07:36, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What's the abbreviation of this name? "wv" conflicts with "Wikiversity". Liangent 07:00, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Note that I'm not voting, but I wonder a little about the community dynamics of merging fragments of several communities (plus a whole WikiVoyage community) into an existing name. I'm not sure whether an entirely new, fresh, shiny name might not be a better thing. But I've got nothing to base this on but gut instinct. :) Philippe (WMF) (talk) 08:02, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
