Service name suggestion & mascot
The first possible name for the service has been decided: Wikki (that double-k is not a spelling mistake).
Wikki is also the name of the lizard-like mascot that will pop up as part of the new theme that is currently in development. An early sketch of the character has been attached.
Any feedback on the name and the mascot is welcome - whether it be positive or negative.
Once feedback has been received, all recommendations will be reviewed and they may lead to changes to the project name and/or the mascot character.
And if you feel that the mascot is completely unnecessary - that's also an opinion I'd like to hear. It wasn't originally a planned part of the project.

The mascot idea is great - It add's character to the project.
For example, if you make a Wikki announcement, you could draw Wikki with an excited expression beside the announcement. Or if the Wikki server is down, you could draw a sad Wikki beside the announcement. His expression indicates how we should feel.
Sure, it's completely unnecessary, but it's fun, and does hold benefits.
Did you draw Wikki? :D
Thanks for the feedback. That's the type of thing I was thinking about, too - a different pose for each situation.
I did not draw him, a friend of mine did. He's asked me not to link to his website yet, as it's still in development, but when it's finished I'll provide details in case you want to see some of his other work.

I am trying to figure out what this wikki will do and don't seem to find the correct info so this in mind I think focus on getting info to the user and getting this colombo-wikki-project going… I think it would be wise to focus on that… Your start-up is probably for us, the geeky beta testers and developers… logos and illustrations are not that important at this stage… Later on they can be a great asset.
I assume this project is about usability and functionality, not about coolness and funkyness…
A - S I M P L E - P L A N by ARTiZEN a startingpoint for simple wikidot solutions.
Good point
