I am using the terminology that the average 'New' user can relate too. 
 They don't use software or programs they use apps(which are technically 
programs).
I totally understand what you are saying about calling it simply an App.
TiddlyWiki is a Master App Builder that could create 1000's of apps from 
Recipe TW app to Math Note Research TW apps.

What would you call it to make it 'understandable' to new people?

I agree it is in the controlpanel, which is not front and center.
I am running 10 TW about right now and I need to make sure I have 
consistency so I have been doing this for myself on all my TW's.
I see New people having issues knowing right off the bat I am using TW5 
version X.Y.Z
Putting it in the Title avoids this issue.

This is about New people, would it not be easier to say 'What numbers are 
in the top right corner?'
than
'Click on the controlpanel and let us know what numbers are listed under 
the version?'
I can see the reply 'Where is the controlpanel?'

Raspberry Pi has Jams.

TiddlyWiki has TWIGs (TiddlyWiki Interest Groups)

The first TWIG gathering, BAYTWIG, was held many years ago in San 
Francisco, and Jeremy has held several events in Oxford, England (OXTWIG).

Thanks Eric.
I think I was at that BayTwig years ago.
I need to figure out how to have a TWIG in LA or near me in SoCal.
Maybe make a presentation at local makers groups.
