So has the name ‘Rite’ for Ruby 2.0 officially gone the way of the  
Dodo bird?

I’m curious to know b/c I have a little web generation tool that I  
think the name ‘rite’ would suite (b/c of the alliteration to  
‘write’). But I’m not sure if I should b/c of the whole Ruby 2.0  
thing.

Thanks,  
T.

be wary, the Dodo comes!

I think that ‘rite’ is a name for technologies that are not yet ready,  
but still developing.  
I thought the dodo arrives with 2.0, which would be about Dec at the  
earliest, or its ready when it is ready.  
I could be very wrong, and am not an expert in naming.

Rite is a code name for my _next_ implementation. Since YARV came in,  
the development of Rite itself is suspended.

I have no trademark registration or such, so I don’t think I can claim  
anything on the word Rite. But I am afraid it might cause confusion  
in the Ruby world to use that word for a project.
