To determine how well the `racket' and `rico' split works, as well as a hierarchical `svn'-like command syntax for `rico', I think we'll just have to try it. If it doesn't work well, we can try something else.
For the name: No one really has to understand the RICO connection. The name `rico' is short for "Racket COmmand", but we added and "i" so that it's easy to pronounce. (On the point of Americans vs. non-Americans: Eli had to explain the joke to me. I was initially in favor of `rco'.) Meanwhile, suggest other names to replace `rico', and if one becomes more popular, we can use it. For the file extension: I was originally in favor of keeping ".ss", because it avoids work, but I've become in favor of ".rkt"; I don't want to spend the next decade explaining why the file suffix for Racket programs is ".ss". If we change the suffix, it sounds like most of us prefer a short one, and ".rkt" is the obvious choice. _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://list.cs.brown.edu/mailman/listinfo/plt-dev
