i creating a cannabis wikipedia type site

i havent decided on a name yet, and im really open to suggestions, so far ive thought up these:

cannapedia
cannawiki
Stonerwiki
stonerpedia
weedwiki
420pedia
cannabiswiki

id love to hear your ideas for a better domain name, or just telling me which one of these sucks the least. :P

i also havent bought a host yet... im eyeballing this deal on a site called siteground... would cost me 35 bucks for a year of hosting, coming with a domain.

which seems like a really good deal to me... anybody ever had experience with siteground or has some other better host for the site?

i would really like to upload it to the web soon so i can show it to you.

i have started working on a 0.1 version using tikiwiki and xampp, so far i have these sections (and have filled out lots of info in them):

Growing:
Pretty much empty right now.
should contain the collected knowledge of all growers online. will probably be the biggest section in the future.
kinda like the old GrowFAQ on Rollitup but with more in depth articles (pictures, videos, related links, etc.)

Cooking:
How to make Cannabutter, Cannaoil, list of recipes, cannabis cookin basics, etc.
aswell as How to make different types of hashs, Honeyoils, thcpills, greendragon, etc.
I was thinkin of makin a seperate tab im the top menu bar named "hash" or "concentrates" or "Extraction" but im not so sure, what do you think?

How to's:
(List of all how to articles on the wiki)

Joints:
(how to roll special joints like the crossroad or the windmill etc.)

Stoner Movies:

(List of all stoner movies with Picture description, cast and links to: IMBD, wikipedia, torrents and watch online links.)

Stonercomics:
(collection of good stonercomics)

Documentaries:

(List of all cannabis related Documentaries with Pictures, description, and links to: IMBD, wikipedia, torrents and watch online links, etc.)

Books:
(List of Cannabis realted books, with author, isbn, description, links to amazon, torrents read online links, etc)

Budporn:
Awesome pictures of buds


Slang:
related to cannabis with descriptions (or links) of what they are.


Pictures:
Funny or awesome or amazing Pictures Related to cannabis


News:
list of News Article links related to cannabis by sorted by date Date


Medical:
Medical Information on cannabis for patients aswell as for doctors etc.
(i have pretty much nothin here right now, but i see this as a very promising page)

Forums:
List of all Cannabis related Forums on the internet. (work in progress)

Others:
id love to hear from you what sections you like to see on the cannabis information archive.

ive thought of making a page with notable people or something...
like "important stoners" or "notable cannabis smoker" ... and then making a list to credit the great minds of the cannabis culture... jack herrer, marc emery, bob marley, etc....

what do you think i should call that???

TH:DR


Domain: What should the cannabiswikis domain be?
Host: Where should i host the site? is siteground.com a good host?
Feedback: what would you like to see? what kind of section or information am i missing that relates to cannabis? do you like it so far?
Help: will you help me fill it with information once its online?

I like WikiWeed but the term weed gives off a negative connotation a lot of times, so im going with Cannapedia

Don't use godaddy for a domain, they'll probably gank it from you eventually. I'm not sure on pot related stuff, but for computer "security" sites they will eventually. I suggest you do a DNS whois on this site for their domain's provider and trace the IP of the site back to it's web host and use them.
 
i hate seeing the term "stoner" or anything that refers to marijuana as a stereotype or conjures up images of a stoner when it is not that way anymore. I like Cannapedia

BAM, was bored so I looked it up for you, this site uses http://illusivecreations.com for their server. So they're probably 420 friendly. This site also uses godaddy to register the name, but like I said they have a history of ganking domains from you. Then, if your site is any popular at the time, people will snap it up right quick from under you and put ads all over. Happened to my domain.

definitely love the idea of a cannabis specific wiki...

cannapedia wins.



I hope all the information on this is very organized and as unbiased as possible. if we must have biased opinions we should atleast state where the opinions are coming from ;), allowing everyone to express what they want without stifling opinions, and allowing the user to get both sides of the story.

I am especially interested in this wiki and the information that could be built up about sativa... that alone could truly educate the cannabis community as a whole to the joys and amazing history of sativa...


I pretty much like all the section ideas EXCEPT news... I don't think a wiki should be handeling news... I think that's what places like NORML and west coast cannabis, etc. are for.
