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

As far as Chiron: 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 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 =)

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'?

IronRubites and IronPythonics,

First and foremost, I want to thank anyone who has used the bits on 
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 ...

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

My first order of collaboration is this simple new feature, "console=true": 
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
