Just within this week I have heard this question at least five times. I would have supplied a proposed wording, but I am myself not sure what the answer here is ;)

Good point. I'd suggest "What's with the name 'Gittip'?" So as not to assume people know what Git is.

I remember seeing some threads discussing the name and a proposed change way back when, so happy to dig those up later and get to this

@patcon I think we've got two separate concerns here: one is people who do know what Git and GitHub are, and the other is people who don't. I think the name question is much more Frequently from people who do know about Git/GitHub.

I think the name question is much more Frequently from people who do know about Git/GitHub.

I think the more generic "What's with the name 'Gittip'?" could handle both cases without assuming too much about the reader.
