But now the content is being tailored to the members' specifications, with the goal of presenting a clear explanation of what will distinguish the Hyperledger Project from efforts specifically mentioned, including bitcoin and Ripple.

"What we want to point out here is there are a lot of use-cases [for bitcoin and Ripple that] are not appropriate," said Voell.

Ripples never appeared on the Hyperledger TSC. No contributions on mailing lists, meetings and so forth. ergo they won't really play a part. They are free to submit proposal though (like intel will shortly) but the project looks to be set in it's own direction

Interesting. Even moreso in light of this quote:

"Notably, Ripple is not formally participating in the initiative as of yet, though it has donated code.

Ripple CEO Chris Larsen told CoinDesk:

"We concluded that we didn’t feel [there was a] focused enough product use case yet.""
