The re-christening of RISC 

The RISC project, whose core team I am part of, has begun to gain some traction as a result of Atanu's move back to India to head the project. As part of this process, we have re-christened the project Deeshaa, which is a Sanskrit word meaning "direction." Interestingly, the word also means the same thing in a variety of other Indian languages including some of the Dravidian languages.

We have also started a new blog while the commercial site is being built. Feel free to leave comments, suggestions etc. Of course, the blog is a work-in-progress and very much in beta stage. So, I shall pre-emptively apologise for any screw-ups that may occur.
