[Wikipedia-l] Our officially anonymous software

I think we should take the "pedia" reference up a layer of 
abstraction.  Maybe "Reference" Wiki.  Broaden the scope a little.  We 
don't want to limit it to only people who want to make another 
WikiPedia.  If that were the goal then we should just call it WikiPedia 
software (to differentiate it from WikiPedia Data)
