245+
246+ The Package Maintenance Working Group working group brings together
247+ Node.js collaborators, package maintainers, and package consumers to
248+ work together with the goal of ensuring the health of the package ecosystem.
249+
250+ Our goals are:
251+
252+ * Define and document how to prioritize which packages are key to
253+ the Node.js ecosystem, and how/what assistance can/should be provided.
254+ One key aspect is understanding what communication channels are
255+ needed in order to identify when specific issues are slowing
256+ migration from one Node.js version to another, or causing friction in the ecosystem.
257+ * Building and documenting guidance, tools and processes so businesses
258+ can identify the packages they depend on. Businesses can use the information
259+ to build a business case which supports both the organization and developers
260+ helping to maintain those packages.
261+ * Documenting a backlog and providing resources to help businesses identify
262+ how their developers can contribute, and get engaged. Developers can test
263+ and validate a workflow to help with issues slowing migration to Node.js 10.x.
264+ * Building, documenting and evangelizing guidance, tools and processes
265+ (for example LTS for modules) can make it easier for maintainers to manage multiple streams,
266+ and accept help from those who depend on their module.
