how stupid it is to use a common and known term to the public and inflate it with a completely different subject matter.


Like Wikileaks' name. There was not really much "wiki" in wikileaks.

Yeah, they installed mediawiki or something similar IIRC in the first years, but did they ever enabled public contributions through it? I recall the Assange committee have always tried to get the leaks through other means, the anonymous/encrypted version du jour of "send a letter to the newsroom".
