Not looking for dirt or anything, but why the fork? What makes this different from Node?
(Only clue so far is the "open governance model"; is that in contrast to Joyent maintaining Node?)
EDIT: Based on their CONTRIBUTING.md page[1], it looks like this is intended to be a more "community-driven" version of Node. A strike against is that SEVERAL (if not most) links in README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md still reference the joyent/node GitHub project.

- onestone 12y agoBecause Node 0.12 took forever to be released, looks more and more like vaporware, and the community demands new V8 features yesterday. Oh, and the V8 version bundled with the current stable Node was no longer maintained even at launch time.
