I thought I'd explore some word origins and found:
- Wiki/Wikiwiki => hawaiian for "quick" (the first Wiki was named after
the "wiki wiki shuttle" - a shuttle bus service at the Hawaii Intl.
airport: Wiki Wiki Web => "quick Web"
- The Hawaiian on-line dictionary http://wehewehe.org
translates "gopher" into "Kopahela".
- The nature of a Wiki is that it's open and changeable:
changeable => "Loliloli" ; open => "Weke; wekeweke"
(open has many meanings - I picked "transitive")
Along these lines maybe something like:
Weke Weke Gopher
Loliloli Gopher
Weke Wiki Kopahela
Wiki Kopahela
...?
Cheers,
Jeff
