I mostly agree with this as well; I find "Wikisophia" a kind of 
weird-looking name, and a bit pretentious.  I might be in the minority 
(?), but I never interpreted "Wikiversity" as actually a university, but 
in a more metaphorical sense---sort of like [[en:Wikipedia:Sandbox]].  I 
wouldn't be averse to some other name I suppose, but I can't think of 
one offhand that I like better.
