[edit]- I kinda like it, but (1) "babel" might be too Judeo-Christian-specific, e.g. would it work as well in a Chinese cultural context? (2) it might not meet the desideratum of The name should not restrict the wiki only towards the goal of the Abstract Wikipedia or be only about natural language and content abstraction, but should reflect the potential that the functions may be used in a large diversity of ways and places.

- I had immediately thought of this name also, but dismissed it for the same concerns you are raising here. --Thadguidry (talk) 02:14, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
- Same problem as with "WikiSetta" above: "Rosetta" and "Babel" are already overused for naming a lot of products related to languages, language learning, machine translation, etc. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 11:21, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
- I proposed the same idea earlier, and I still sort of like it. I doubt it could be considered evangelistic, as this was considered rather an evil city in the scriptures, and it's a well-known metaphor in modern humanistic culture.--Pharos (talk) 17:36, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
- I think it is leant too much toward the Abstract Wikipedia aspect of Wikilambda. The name should not restrict the wiki only towards the goal of the Abstract Wikipedia or be only about natural language and content abstraction, but should reflect the potential that the functions may be used in a large diversity of ways and places. ๐๐ค๐ฏ๐บ๐ช๐ค๐๐๐ท๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐บ๐ด๐๐๐ฐ (๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ ) 15:18, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
