As discussed on the Oct 26 Sprint meeting, we will be renaming the prefix of any of our github repos that contain any JavaScript module, from 'node-' to 'js-'.

This decision came from hearing the feedback from the IPFS community, where there was always some confusion with the words 'node' and 'ipfs' and also a the lack of clarity if a module is supposed to be Node.js only. 'node' is a very overloaded word in the IPFS context.

This doesn't mean however that we will be leaving the npm ecosystem, npm will still be the tool of choice when it comes to publishing and installing this JavaScript modules.

We will be rotating the repo names starting of today, this should not change the behaviour when installing one of these modules or break any CI tools, since we always published to npm without the prefix.

List of repos suffering this change (let us know if we miss any):

Don't forget:

Should've used IPNS for everything I guess :P
