[Pkg-javascript-devel] the status of JS in buster: great !

[Paolo Greppi]

Good job team !

We now have:
- platform:
   - node 10.15.1 (current LTS)
   - npm 5.8.0 (current is 6.8.0) and yarnpkg 1.13.0 (current)
- tools: buble, babel, rollup, webpack, browserify, gulp, grunt ...
- and libraries: jquery, vue, knockout, react, bootstrap4 ...
(please add to this list !)

People will use our work in creative ways, and not all of them will be ideologically attached to free software in the sense of dfsg.
Front-end developers will probably not use the packaged libraries, and rather download local copies with "our" npm or yarkpkg. But most of the build deps they'll be able to install with apt get if they wish.
End-users will happily curl | bash apps, but at least use "our" nodejs.

So I think the world should know, and I propose the team gets in touch with:
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Publicity
and arrange some sort of announcement.

Thoughts ?
