Would a Wiki Wiki by Any Other Name Not Frustrate As Thoroughly on Searching?

Let’s say you have a golden opportunity to deploy a slick new thing to serve in the efforts of tribal-knowledge wrangling and needed to choose a name. What would it be named? Shooting for something a little more creative than “the wiki” (even though that holds a special place in my heart, I know our membership with more creativity have something better to proffer forth).
Feel free to respond here, or message me privately if you wish (or if your suggestion is blue enough that it might not be fit for little pitchers).
Here a few I’ve heard bandied about:
Knowledge Base
Knowledge Fountain
Knowledge Garden
WreckerdWare
CoreStore
Secret Vault
HiveMinder
The Almanac
Knowledge Domain
Knowledge Warehouse

I’m sure you can sense recurring themes. Add “stream” in place of other words, and mix it up.
Whadyathink?

With Apologies to Douglas Adams’ HGTTG:
MGTM makers guide to making
RTFW Read the Fluent Wiki

Or perhaps historical knowledge entities:
Thoth
Prometheus

But if it’s going to be like anything we have already experienced, it is probably best named

YAK - Yet Another Knowledgebase [or You Already Know]

Bri_Gearhart · July 9, 2021, 3:57pm

Wow, some really good ones thrown out already.

I personally like the Tomes, Prometheus (But I can see people might not realize it is a knowledge base), The Almanac, and Knowledge Base.

Or upgrade to Yaki Yak
Yet Another Knowledge Infobase You’re Assumed Knowing … more content but same ease of use.

The Source

thesource.dallasmakerspace.org

I can totally tell someone to head on over to thesource.dallasmakerspace.org for all their organizational information needs.

Sybil or Mimir

Then again I’m biased to mythology

Wiki McWikiFace gets my vote

@Jcgalik made a Wiki McWikiFace mascot for us.

The Data Pool

I’ve been playing a lot of cyberpunk lately.

Guru. It may not be clever, but it’s certainly self-explanatory.
