Maybe I don't get it, but this seems like a truly horrible name. I didn't have an idea of what the site was for from the name and even reading Joel's post left it a little vague. Once I was there, I got a feel for what was going on, but I still don't think I will remember the place. For a site aimed at users, why use a name referring to webapp distribution?

I thought it made sense... well as much as "stackoverflow" does.

Stack Overflow is at least obviously programming-related.

It was the highest voted domain name by the community http://meta.nothingtoinstall.com/questions/108/what-should-o...

All the politicians in office right now were the highest voted, but that doesn't mean they are good. I didn't click on on the referenced link as I don't even want to know what was second worse.
