We've been working on Houston since originally building it for the Meteor hackathon this summer, and it's starting to be fairly robust and presentable. Would love more Meteor hackers to try it out in their projects and send feedback/requests.

Also, I'll be at the Meteor Devshop this afternoon - come say hi!

Looks nice, will try it on the web app I am currently building with Meteor. Does it or will it support migration of MongoDB data from different instances. Say for example, I've deployed onto <some_domain>.meteor.com and next want to deploy to a production instance at modulus.io, then migrate my data.

Houston doesn't currently handle that natively, but it just so happens I wrote a script that handles migrating (or at least downloading) for you recently. See https://github.com/AlexeyMK/meteor-download

Very cool! I'll give it a go in my project over the weekend and shoot you some feedback.

Looking forward to it. My email is on my profile

My initial thought at the name: We're naming projects after Internet famous founders now?

I call dibs on Projects Altman and Collison.

Houston continues the tradition of "Meteor" puns - see Galaxy[0], Atmosphere[1], etc.

"Houston" is already the name of a popular open source project by Mattt Thompson - https://github.com/nomad/houston

It's the name of many things:

I love the name choice.

Very nice to see the Meteor community really producing stuff, I think the success of such frameworks depends at least 50% to this.

Isn't Greg involved with this?

Yeah, I think so. What a swell guy!
