I’m very confused. Open sourcing makes it an independent project (might as well be external), and that’s necessary for the project to be of use to anyone else (Imagine one of your dependencies being part of someone else’s monorepo). In case that’s successful, you can handle it just like any other library dependency. (How do you do that in your monorepo?) To elaborate... How can the community participate in the project if it is not a relatively independent project? If things are closely coupled to one person’s monorepo, then presumably the code is not usable for another person. So, for practical purposes, it might as well be just a code dump.
