I've searched the docs, the forum, the web.
How is "WeeWX" pronounced?
Or maybe first: Is "WeeWX" pronounced? Or do you simply say "double u e e double u ex?" or "double u double e double u ex?" Is it an abbreviation? An akronym?

Where I come from this would most likely be understood as "we masturbate".

Well that's probably something similar to the Mitsubishi "Montero" which is known as "Pajero" over here, with the difference "wix.com" probably doesn't care about it.
But back to topic: @tk how do you say "WeeWX" and is it the same as mwall would say it? However you do, I'd take that as "official".

Well then, I will pronounce it that way. And I don't care what people around may think when they hear me talking about it without knowing wat it is :)
And what doest it mean/stand for? My guess is that at least one of the "W" is related to the noun "weather".

"WX" is a common abbreviation for "weather."
The "wee" part refers to my intention to make it a small, simple utility (as opposed to its predecessor, wview). Unfortunately, it has since grown into nearly as big a monster, albeit with a simpler, more modular architecture.

Coming from you, one of the last of the wview users, that's high praise, indeed!
