Agree...couldn't find a clear explanation anywhere within several clicks of the home page. If it's a fork of node.js with ES6 support, as people are saying, they should put that on the front page or at the top of the FAQ section or on the front page of the documentation.
It's more than that: a lot of people who made node.js to what it is are now working on io.js.
It's more like a new version of node with a different name to circumvent trademark issues.
