Okawix Wiki{p,m}edia

I have e-mailed Okawix and asked them to answer this question.

Hi,

And thanks for your suggestion.
I'm not sure we should change say that Okawix is a Wikimedia or Mediawiki browser, instead of saying that it's a Wikipedia browser.
The fact is that you're not wrong, Okawix is a Wikimedia or Mediawiki browser indeed, but there are maybe 90% or more of the people who know more or less what Wikipedia is, whereas there are maybe 10% of the people or less who know what Mediawiki or Wikimedia means. So, I think it is maybe better to make it easy for everybody and just say it's a Wikipedia browser, even if it is less exact :-)

Secondly, let me add that, if we wanted to be completely exact in the use of the words, Okawix can actually be used to browse off-line any website content, not only wiki projects, as long as you have an .okawix archive of this website (.okawix is the file format used by Okawix). So that, rather than saying it is a Wikimedia or Mediawiki browser, it'd be more exact (if we wanted to be completely exact) to say that is is actually an offline browser.

But let keep it easy and simple for everybody, and let's just call it Wikipedia browser, no?

Sincerely yours :-) Matthieu.
