IronRubites and IronPythonics, First and foremost, I want to thank anyone who has used the bits on [http://codeplex.com/sdlsdk](http://codeplex.com/sdlsdk), and accepting my bullshit version of open-source. While getting monthly binaries/sources is nice, it should be about working on the project together … not just me throwing stuff over the wall to you. That’s changing, now … Oh, and remember me complaining about the crappy “sdlsdk” name … well, I’m trying to get rid of that acronym … > **[GitHub - jschementi/agdlr: Dynamic languages in Silverlight](https://github.com/jschementi/agdlr)** > > Dynamic languages in Silverlight. Contribute to jschementi/agdlr development by creating an account on GitHub. Above the public repository for the DLR integration in Silverlight. The following post explains what’s in there, what’s not, what’s git, and how to contribute: [http://blog.jimmy.schementi.com/2008/11/agdlr-silverlight-dlr-open-source.html](http://blog.jimmy.schementi.com/2008/11/agdlr-silverlight-dlr-open-source.html) My first order of collaboration is this simple new feature, “console=true”: [Jimmy Schementi \> "console=true": REPLs in Silverlight](http://blog.jimmy.schementi.com/2008/11/repls-in-silverlight.html). If you like this, please feel free to look at what’s been done, and if you want to fix something that doesn’t yet work correctly, I won’t stop you. Also, as I mentioned in a previous mail, I want to make the filesystem-\>XAP/isolatedstorage metaphor stronger, so feel free to experiment with that as well. Over the next week I’ll get some website-presence/wiki/etc, and we can run this project up and running. There are still some hurdles I need to clear with getting contributed code back into our internal codebase, and shipping on Codeplex, but there are no problems with keeping things on GitHub for now. Let me know if there are any question. I know I’ve been a bit silent on the Silverlight front, but take this as me making it up to you. 😉 ~Jimmy ---

Very, VERY nice. Glad to see the github love flowing, real collaboration is at hand! On Tue, Nov 18, 2008 at 6:58 PM, Jimmy S. \< ---

Well done - that’s an awesome step forward. Pity about poor old mercurial though - doesn’t get much of a look in these days. I guess the ‘Ag’ refers to silver - out of interest, what is the origin of ‘chiron’? On Wed, Nov 19, 2008 at 10:58 AM, Jimmy S. \< ---

More importantly, it’s also the name of one of Jonathan Coulton’s songs: “Chiron Beta Prime”: [http://www.jonathancoulton.com/songdetails/Chiron%20Beta%20Prime](http://www.jonathancoulton.com/songdetails/Chiron%20Beta%20Prime) Because of this I knew how to pronounce the name 🙂 On Wed, Nov 19, 2008 at 1:54 AM, Jimmy S. \< ---

Yep, Ag is Silver … made pretty obvious by my little logo for it [http://blog.jimmy.schementi.com/2008/11/agdlr-silverlight-dlr-open-source.html](http://blog.jimmy.schementi.com/2008/11/agdlr-silverlight-dlr-open-source.html) As far as Chiron: [2060 Chiron - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2060_Chiron). It’s a planetoid between Saturn and Uranus. The port that Chiron.exe runs on by default, 2060, is Chiron’s “object” number. It was derived from the Cassini [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) Web server that Dmitry Robsman wrote. Cassini was a probe mission to explore the moons of Saturn, and Chiron was initially thought to be a moon of Saturn. Just a coincidence that a “Chiron” is also a mythological half-man/half-horse =) ~js From: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid [[mailto:removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid)] On Behalf Of Mark R.
