Hi everyone,

it's been a while since I thought that the massive amount of javascript
librairies (and node.js specific ones) need to get organized.

In my opinion, and I think most will agree, the difficult part in learning
JavaScript is not so much about the language (well, it takes time too!) but
rather about having to grasp its vast, ever changing, ecosystem.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but there is no real place/tool to help achieve
this overlook (apart from some simple lists) and I think it would be a
massive improvement to have one.

I took a few minutes to write this mail because I came accross this tool:
http://opencomparison.org
What about using or get inspired from this one, for JavaScript ?


Second discussion:
given javascript has no 'batteries included' - so it is not maintained by a
core team - maintainers of each package are given much responsibility.
They must be responsive and open to change, it is of vital importance if we
want to avoid massive forks.

I suggest the reponsability of maintaining, making evolve a lib should be
spread among the community to ensure that. Details have to be discussed !
Here is a link on discussion currently taking place in the pyramid
community to go that way:

What do you think ?

Cheers,
Simon
