Thanks for the responses! It seems folks agree on a) openwhisk to be in the name and b) leverage one of the existing npm scopes @openwhisk or @apache-openwhisk
Based on that I would propose to go with suggestion 3: @openwhisk/wskdebug I will create a PR. And then ask for an initial release (keeping the version number to avoid confusion), plus vote. Agree with Carlos, this must follow ASF release process and then push to npm is just one convenience "mirror" from the ASF perspective. I have seen this practiced well with https://github.com/apache/openwhisk-client-js (Although not for your normal npm developer, they will be _very_ confused if something is not on npmjs.org :-) Just saying.)

My two cents: Publishing to npm would be a community thing as a convenience not an official distribution guaranteeing the bytes for a third party service (ie npmjs.org) No need to vote on the npmjs.org published, vote should already happened for the source code and the tgz source code published. Just setup some scripting that publishes the already voted tgz source to npmjs.org server. - Carlos Santana @csantanapr > On Feb 28, 2020, at 11:43 AM, David P Grove <gro...@us.ibm.com> wrote: > > > > Alexander Klimetschek <aklim...@adobe.com.INVALID> wrote on 02/28/2020 > 01:44:51 AM: >> >>> We own both the @openwhisk and @apache-openwhisk organizations, so >>> we could choose to use either as a scope for this new package. >> >> I did not see any @openwhisk or @apache-openwhisk scopes on npm (no >> results for e.g. [1]).
