| 34 | Node.js. The responsibilities of the Streams Working Group include:
|
|---|
| 35 |
|
|---|
| 36 | * Addressing stream issues on the Node.js issue tracker.
|
|---|
| 37 | * Authoring and editing stream documentation within the Node.js project.
|
|---|
| 38 | * Reviewing changes to stream subclasses within the Node.js project.
|
|---|
| 39 | * Redirecting changes to streams from the Node.js project to this
|
|---|
| 40 | project.
|
|---|
| 41 | * Assisting in the implementation of stream providers within Node.js.
|
|---|
| 42 | * Recommending versions of `readable-stream` to be included in Node.js.
|
|---|
| 43 | * Messaging about the future of streams to give the community advance
|
|---|
| 44 | notice of changes.
