Is it io.js, IO.js, or something else?

[mathiasbynens]

The main contributors to this repository seem to use “io.js” (in issues, commits, meeting notes), but @isaacs’ blog post has “IO.js”. Which is it?

Let’s nip this in the bud and add this FAQ to the README.

I've been using it as lowercase

LOL, damn i was hoping it would be iO.Js

iOo.oOo.js

This should clarify it nodejs/build-containers#5 (comment)

[Fishrock123]

io.js

node-forward/discussions#19 (comment)

Based on @rvagg's comment, the name of the repo, and the name on the 0.12 branch README, it seems like we are going with io.js. We can revisit this later if there is disagreement.

@mathiasbynens I think it would be fine to have this in the documentation, unless the TC disagrees.

[rvagg]

going to flag this as a discussion for TC this week

That's gotta be a close second.

That was just how izs used it, doesn't make it the official approach.

The reverse name (jsio / js.io) had been swimming in my brain for a few days (and then I finally searched the name and realized it was already a thing.) So my €0.02: IO.js.

I do wonder if, over time, there is a risk of the "js" dropping when the project is discussed in more colloquial use and people just calling it IO/io.

[bnoordhuis]

Per today's TC meeting, it's "io.js". All hail io.js!

Let’s document this in the README (or in a FAQ somewhere).

@isaacs Could you run s/IO.js/io.js/g on your blog post to reduce confusion?
