Hacker News Reader

I could be wrong, but I don't think they are renaming anything. They just replaced the official Node.js Github repo with the io.js repo, and it has the old readme. I expect the readme will be updated.

Im surprised by this, too. Node is significantly more well-known than Io.

I'm confused, I thought they were ditching io.js

Is anything even new here? The io.js README was last updated 18 days ago.

Back in May, the two projects announced they were merging, and several things have been done in that respect:

* The io.js project joined the Node Foundation (https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1664#issuecomment-1018...). * Joyent transferred ownership of nodejs.org to the Linux Foundation (http://whois.icann.org/en/lookup?name=nodejs.org).

It seems like the future-facing work is being done in the io.js repository.. that doesn't mean an eventual release from there will be called io.js. Can anyone link to anything more authoritative than a probably-not-updated README?

I'd thought so too and assume the readmes havent been updated yet
