Buffy/Anthony Stewart Head spinoff--Ripper? Firefly?

I just read something about ASH being in a new Whedon series called “Firefly.” Is this instead of, or in addition to “Ripper”?

Firefly is a separate project; the reason you hear it in reference to Ripper is because they’ve put Ripper on hold until Firefly gets going. Joss has WAY too many irons in the fire at this point, and decided that Ripper could stand to wait a bit while the other stuff got off the ground.
