 ==Switch.wiki==
 * The original silly idea of Mark in the new fashion of .wiki. Means a wiki about switches. Is that electrical or some gender fluid thingy? Is there any relation at all to what we do here? Would anybody encountering the name switch.wiki get the idea that htis might be the place where they would find an index of wikis?

+:It obviously means [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000I9B2LE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 this type of switch]. It's a metaphor for how you go to WikiIndex and from there can choose to go to one of many wikis via the hyperlinks from the articles. Kinda like how a cable goes into the switch and then you can turn the dial to create a connection to one of four cables on the other side of the switch. Anyone seeing the URL switch.wiki would immediately realize "oh, this must be a wiki that has an index of other wikis so that I can navigate from that wiki to any of those other wikis in the same way that I could turn a dial on an RJ-45 switch to change which cable I'm connecting to."
