In hindsight, I phrased my question poorly -- sorry. My question pertained more to branding. Why the name "WikiVoyage?" I understand Wiki* namespace lock-in

I understand Wiki* namespace lock-in due to the Wikimedia relationship, but it doesn't seem like a great differentiator from WikiTravel. IMHO, I don't think the lay person gets the difference. Though "voyage" is a synonym for travel (and the word for travel in French), it associates closer to sailing and cruises.
That said, I did find your blog entries interesting. Thanks!

Personally, I liked "Wikinomad", but them's the breaks. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikivoyage/Naming_Process http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikivoyage/Naming_Process
