Print is Dead, Long Live Print

German Wikipedia will be published as a book. Will it still be called "Wikipedia," or will it be called something different? It seems to me that that a new name is required the moment a wiki is transformed into something more stable. It ain't a wiki anymore. Unless maybe they are going leave some blank pages at the end of each article...

I've heard Wales say that he wanted to release CD editions of Wikipedia under version numbers—Wikipedia 1.0— (although I can't remember where I've seen this at). It wouldn't surprise me if they do something similar with the print version.
