Rename repository to sourcejs-core to make it more findable and 'easier' to fork #216

Searching github for sourcejs does not yield what you'd expect. I'd expect sourcejs/Source to be the top hit, but even when sorting by number of stars or forks, the Source repository does not appear at all.

I suggest renaming the repository to sourcejs-core.

A nice side-effect will be that when someone forks sourcejs-core the repository name will still be linked to sourcejs.

Hm, that's a valid point, let's also see how other organizations with multiple repos solve that.

Looks like github favors repository names & repository descriptions for searching 'tags' in.

Searching for ReactJS yields this:
https://github.com/search?o=desc&q=reactjs&ref=searchresults&s=stars&type=Repositories&utf8=%E2%9C%93

So probably we just need to name core repo as a main package sourcejs?

Yeah, sounds like that has become common practice, and it also corresponds with the npm package name.

I assume renaming it will cause githib to redirect any incoming requests to the old repository to the new url?

It should, but not sure how reliable this is. Will wait until 0.6.0 release, where official distribution will be handled through npm.
