Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked BOB repository, related repositories, and npm modules, then check their ownership, licenses, DCO documents, and dependencies. Done means reaching a decision about the transfer, naming, and handling of the related projects, with the administrative steps identified.

Description

tsc-review

I hope this is the correct issue tracker for this.

I propose we move https://github.com/Fishrock123/bob into the nodejs github org under a more appropriate name.

"Future Streams (BOB)", maybe.

This should be done to help prevent that work from being lost/forgotten, as it is very hard to progress alone, and my primary projects presently do not relate to node.

The project is licensed under MIT (though I wish I'd put it under dual with BlueOak before any contributions were made), and has the DCO-1.1 in it's contributing document.

There are also a handful of related repos and npm modules:

I believe all of those are also MIT & DCO-1.1, and I'm not quite sure what to do with them, considering the "main" repo kinda depends on / tests them.

An alternate approach could be to stuff those additional modules all under a separate github org, I suppose.
