Node and The New Open Source
summary
Node claims its ecosystem shows exponential growth, soon double Java in modules, while core contributions collapse to near zero circa 2014 and then recover after the iojs fork and reconciliation. Concrete fixes: a liberal contribution policy (add committers on good patches), consensus-seeking governance with a TSC as tiebreaker, regular releases and LTS, and an autonomous working groups model that raises core contributors from a handful to ~40 and powers many sub‑ecosystem platforms.
