See it? The next word is 'Wilco', which was originally a term used during WWII radion speech to mean 'OK' or 'Roger.' But it also refers to the band Wilco, who recently established themselves as advocates of peer-to-peer file sharing and the open source movement. Read this Wired article for a better idea of how they got into that position. I couldn't help but wonder if the inclusion of the word in the logo isn't a tip of the hat to the band. Well, in the absence of any proof, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
What would the world be, once bereft of wet and wildness?
Let them be left, O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.

Wiki
So I was browsing through the very very cool Wikipedia (which, fyi, is a free open source user-edited online encyclopedia) when I noticed a side link to Wiktionary, which is a sister dictionary project. I haven't used Wiktionary due to the large number of dictionary resources available online, but I noticed something cool in their logo.
