Renaming

Open jameskeane opened this issue 13 years ago • 7 comments

For easier integration with NPM we need to rename this branch. Flotype has made it quite clear they have completed abandoned Now.js, there is very little chance of them relinquishing control of the main repository.

I propose: pronto.js but that looks like it is already taken. rim is available, but sounds kind of dirty.

wonton is damn fine, and it is also "not now" backwards!

I like wontom, but what about 'rightnow' :) Honestly, I like the idea of having 'now' in the name. Or something about time and space LOL. Or ahorajs (ahora = now in spanish) Or arajs (ara = now in catalan)

About your fork... is it safe to use it? ;)

Yes, the master branch of this fork will remain stable.

rightnow.js seems like a good idea to me. It's now.js ; done right.

How about asking Flotype to give you a right to publish new NewJS releases to NPM? I think that changing the name will not do any good.

Ideally Flotype should cede the repo over to James. I'd approach them first, otherwise go the rightnow.js route.

The best bet it's asking.

I am a heavy nodeJS user, I use it on a daily basis for my projects. Just wondering how it is going with the ceding repo with Flotype?

They also mentioned they had already developed a distributed version of it (nowCluster?). Since they are not maintaining the project, I think it could fit putting it to the table instead of wasting all this code.
