Enough time may have passed that people won't get confused with the old Meta/OMeta langs.

Arnold
Where exactly can we find the sourcecode for META? Is it a fossil repo? How do people contribute?

Please note that the Meta site has moved here for its imminent launch:
The links from the pre-launch development period are gone

The big day is finally here! I am releasing Meta, first as a cross-compiler producing Atari 8-bit programs, running on Windows, Apple Mac, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD:

Here is a sneak preview version of Meta that produces executables for Windows, Apple Mac, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD:

Note that error messages for undefined words and paths are now extended with suggestions for an alternative, when available. The Meta compiler now detects words and paths from other REBOL-like languages: REBOL 3, REBOL 2, Red, Red/System and Boron. This makes it much easier to try out and convert REBOL code
Some words from the Logo, Lisp and Scheme language families are also detected, and alternative suggestions provided
