In only a few months io.js…
- Has grown to 23 active core team members
- Has several working groups
- Has 29 language localization teams,
- Has drawn more contributors to the project than we’ve ever had in the history of node.js, and
- Has been able to release quality software at a good pace with the support of an exceptional community.> We are eager to put this all behind us but we can’t sacrifice the progress we’ve made or the principles and open governance that got us here.
The Future
- Talks with the node.js foundation are ongoing.
- Once the foundation has a technical governance model you will see an issue on io.js’ GitHub about whether io.js should join. This will be discussed and voted on openly in a public TC meeting following the governance rules we’ve already built.> For the community, nothing has changed.
