This seems like unnecessary namespace pollution.

There is a very popular frontend mvc framework called knockoutjs that people will be searching for information about using with nodejs.

Calling this node knockout is worse for people wanting to find this event and people wanting to find info about the knockout + node stack.

The Internet namespace is a commons that belongs to us all. Please respect that when naming your thing.

EDIT: apparently, knockoutjs and nodeknockout were released nearly simultaneously. Thank you for correcting me.

Apologies for thinking this was willful pollution, not simultaneous release.

This is the 4th year for node knockout. It and knockout.js are about the same age.

I think you may be misinformed. The NodeKnockout domain was actually purchased prior to the release of Knockout.js. The event was also announced prior to the actual release of Knockout.js. I belive it just happens to be an unfortunate coincidence.

I was misinformed. Thanks.

The Node Knockout competition isn't something new. Both competition and the Knockout MVVM framework came out just months apart in 2010.

Love the "Simon Says" app from Los Noders:
