This may seem like a fussy point, but what is the correct abbreviation for Einstein Toolkit? Is it ET or ETK? I've seen both used (and I'm partial to ETK myself).
Cheers, Steve

I like ET more (despite the extra terrestrial). We also already use ET_* for our release tags.

Since we also have CCTK (Cactus Computational ToolKit), shouldn't it be EATK (Einstein Astrophysics ToolKit)?

I always wince when I see "ETK", since "toolkit" is one word, not two (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/toolkit?s=t). I think ET is used much more frequently than ETK, and while this does conflict with the Einstein Telescope, hopefully it is clear from the context (just like it's clear that we're not talking about little brown men!)

Clearly we need an FAQ for the ET, where this would be the first question.

Richard Stallman called: he says it's "GNU/ETK".

When choosing names I don't expect the letters to begin words. Consider, for example, this popular numerical tool:
Kranc: KRanc Assembles Numerical Code.

Sure, but "ET" and "ETK" are not names of the code; they are abbreviations of "Einstein Toolkit". Kranc is the name of the code, inspired by some of the letters in that phrase.
"Cactus Computational Toolkit" was abbreviated to CCTK, so some of us have grown accustomed to the "Toolkit" -> "TK" mapping.
Perhaps "CCTK" should be changed to "CCT"?
Bet the folks at LSU would love that.
ET is also used by the "Einstein Telescope".
