All of these can also be overcome by conveying our vision and mission effectively. | :* Appropedia describes our scope well.

Licensing- Solved! We are now compatible.- Name. Ekopedia, Appropedia, or something else?
- Ekopedia is clear, but doesn't quite capture the range we cover. People may think they've understood it (yet another green info site) when they haven't. This can be overcome by conveying our vision and mission effectively.
- Appropedia describes our scope well. It is less memorable, people often have trouble catching it ("Appropopedia?"), and it may help continue the common misconception that it's just an "appropriate technology wiki" (which is just a part of the story). All of these can also be overcome by conveying our vision and mission effectively.
- Other name, something catchy, that doesn't create a perception of a limited range, and if possible captures the broad scope of what we do. Suggestions?
- I would prefer to talk about domain names on a private page (by mail?). --jlhenry 18:43, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
