Thanks for that info.

Clearly from what you have described and for all intents and practical purposes XRP is Ripple.

XRP = "ripples", Ripple = distributed/decentralized exchange.

XRP != Ripple.

Ripple != XRP.

XRP are premined, Ripple is a network that works very similarly (only more focussed and with quite a few improvements) to colored coins.

If you are an administrator for Ripple, and have identified yourself as such I don't see why Gliss would not heed your order.

Who is an "Administrator" for Linux or Bitcoin? Ripple is a technology.

Gliss does not take orders (I hope).

As for the Cryptsy/Ripple deal, it is far and away different from Cryptsy's other pairings, http://www.prweb.com/releases/2014/10/prweb12231540.htm

"ForexMinute.com ... Cryptsy ... is integrating with eSpends Ripple gateway technology, Cryptsy's CEO Paul Vernon said: We have been wanting to get XRP on Cryptsy for a long time now, he said. The team at eSpend has made it easy and we look forward to working with them to bring in more of Ripples features.

"features" like what you may say: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=481015.msg9120690#msg9120690

Again, these are features that Ripple (THE TECHNOLOGY) offers natively, eSpend is apparently a company that developed their own implementation, just like Coinbase or BitPay are utilizing Bitcoin to help their merchants.
Ripple might have needed a longer time + outside knowledge, because it is not based on Bitcoin code, so a simple copy/paste job won't work on the API.
