First of all I would like to quote an article I read on the official blog of node.js: "Listening to the Community <http://blog.nodejs.org/2014/12/05/listening-to-the-community/>", after reading this I decided to write this.
In these last days appeared a fork of nodejs called iojs, which looked very serious to bring the project to another course, when I saw this I was stunned, because this would open the possibility that the community behind nodejs eventually split into two. Apparently iojs was born due to complaints from some contributors about the way in which the project is being handled (this includes the lack of new contributors and releases, because the project isn't truly community-driven) Given all this, the questions I ask myself are: why joyent not decides to put nodejs in a foundation with open governance? why not make everyone happy? why not move nodejs with one solid effort from the community? IMHO split the community in two is the worst that could happen to nodejs (and all javascript developers). -- Job board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ New group rules: https://gist.github.com/othiym23/9886289#file-moderation-policy-md Old group rules: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
