Before we started Abstract Wikipedia, it was always clear that "Abstract Wikipedia" was just a working name for the project, not the name that the Website would eventually get. It was intentionally chosen to be minimally descriptive --it is abstract in the sense that it captures encyclopaedic content abstracted from a concrete natural language-- but also not a very good name, because it is confusing: people confuse it with a Wikipedia of Abstracts (short summaries of articles), or think of math or art.

Thus we are kicking off a [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Abstract_Wikipedia/Abstract_Wikipedia_naming_contest naming contest] and were inviting all Wikimedians to join! Already, more than a dozen names are there, and you can suggest more, and vote for your favorites.

Let's find the best possible name!
