I've completed the rename from jQuery Concrete to jQuery Entwine. The
function name has been changed from concrete to entwine, and the
github page and google group have been renamed.

New links:

http://github.com/hafriedlander/jquery.entwine
http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-entwine

The jquery.concrete github project remains so that URLs don't break,
but should no longer be used. If you have a git checkout, you'll need
to update the origin remote in your .git/config to the new git
address, or you'll end up tracking the obsolete project.

The concrete function remains as an alias, so projects shouldn't need
to be changed (although obviously you should update as soon as
possible). Check jquery.entwine.legacy.js for how - you can use the
same method to add your own favourite alias if you like.

Let me know if you run into any problems.

Hi Hamish,

So didn't you like any of the suggestions? How did you settle on the
new name?

Weave won the voting, but there's already a Mozilla project called
Weave.

I had a look at the synonyms of Weave, and that stuck out as cool
sounding and not already used. I posted at the end of the 'Naming'
thread, and people who voted for Weave (and replied) seemed happy with
Entwine.

So I didn't just pick one I liked :).

If you totally hate it you can copy jquery.entwine.legacy.js to create
your own alias. I've avoided using generic names as functions so there
aren't any clashes, but I'll probably experiment with using that
technique to make 'is' or some other short name an alias in private
projects, see how much more readable that makes things.
