Oh no... They forgot to add .svn to the .gitignore A kitten has just died...
nice! I want more integration of this in everything.
That's the only name of internal yahoo projects i really like the Y at the start.
They append Y to anything. So there's usually names like YCoolThing. And you go about "why you are questioning CoolThing?!"
but YSlow is just perfect.

How can you read Y as Why? Is it WhyCombinator for you?

Im guessing it's both because of homophones in general and the fact that yslow is a deliberate play on this - "why is this page slow?"
It's read that way, but semantically, it refers to an actual thing in computer science, so it's not just a cute name.
wait you don't?
As a non native english speaker I do parse it as "ypsilon combinator" but read it "why" anyway :)

The project source is available at https://github.com/marcelduran/yslow
If you're not aware why you're being downvoted - the URL of your submission goes there anyway, so you didn't need to post this. :)
Yeah, initially I had posted the link to the Yahoo Developer blog page announcing the same. But then I thought it would be apt to provide the link to the github repo itself , since the readers would feel more interested in the actual stuff !! So I added the link as a comment without realizing that the source link was updated too.
Maybe he edited the submission URL afterwards.
(Update: Aha, there's a blog post at http://developer.yahoo.com/blogs/ydn/posts/2012/02/welcome-y... - it doesn't explain much to do with my question but it seems becoming BSD makes it more open source than under the Mozilla Public License? :-))
