Hello everyone!

We have a big problem. Richard says that:

In english speaking countries, the word 'prick' is a slang word for the
male penis and 'priki' is very similar! The word 'prick' also means a
small, sharp pain, usually caused by a needle a sting, or a thorn. The
spelling is not the same as Priki, but the name 'Priki' makes you think
about these things, because it sounds like prick. There are so many
wikis that finding a good name is not easy.

So, i think we must change the name of the project.

Below, the first idea for a new name.

Thanks,

Hello Vitor

As a suggestion for your wiki name. 'ZeroWiki'

Zero, as you know means nothing, nil, or the lowest positive number. ZeroWiki stands for 'zero effort', 'zero manual links', 'zero need for WikiWords', ' Zero learning curve to use'

as a logo, you could use the 'zero' as a feature like one of these below. They are all fonts, not artwork





Regards, Richard

Hi,

I like the name ZeroWiki, or maybe contracted to Ziki.

But, except for the odd puritan out there, I dont believe we really
have a problem with the name priki. ;)

See you, Klaus.
