Competition is excellent when you approach to a problem with a different solution or with higher quality, but if you are doing the exact thing as someone else why not just join the effort? I dont endorse closed systems at all, i hate them, I'm not talking about imposing design restriction but quality restrictions, for example requiring certain level of documentation or testing before making a library available via npm, the authors could still host the library at places like github, and npm could publish a description of the project where the author could explain why that project is different and you could try it or contribute. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
