That's true in some respects (we do not make it easy enough
to change all the Wikipedia-specific strings), but we are
becoming more general as our spinoff projects prove, and I
hate to see interesting projects use inferior software like
TWiki because it has better marketing.
Hey,
Checking Google brought out this conversation below.
It seams the
Indymedia.org people were already thinking
of the name "MediaWiki" almost a year ago. (read below).
Since,

Please give me any feedback on how to best use this wiki.

* Is the "Indymedia Documentation Project" wiki an acceptable
location for all our wiki pages, or is it designed just for
generic/process documentation and forms?
* To make navigation easier, can we make our pages appear in a new
directory under Local? So, instead of this hierarchy:
Indymedia > Local > SeaMediaWiki
Can we have this?:
Indymedia > Local > Seattle > MediaWiki
