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

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

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.

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.

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?
