creation of whatwg-stream repo and npm module

[mcollina]

I would like to create a repository, a team and a corresponding npm module named whatwg-stream, under the node org.

See nodejs/open-standards#12 for more details.

I'd love to be a part of this. Also: cc @devsnek

A bit of bikeshedding: is it going to be whatwg-stream or stream-whatwg? Asking because we are likely to follow this convention when we want to implement other WHATWG thingy later. whatwg-* may be sorted better and easier to search I guess, but we use the url-whatwg label in core for WHATWG URLs - that can be easily modified, though

what if we just put our modules in the open standards group repo, as a monorepo

[joyeecheung]

@devsnek I'd prefer we don't do that: the last time we talked about the monorepo idea in automation, it never really went anywhere, also, it would be difficult to mange the commit and release access if we start out as a monorepo. I'd suggest we start small and just manage the repo separately for a start, otherwise we may be stuck at getting the tooling and process ready instead of doing actual experimental work - just because things like Lerna exists doesn't mean there will be people doing the extra work to actually bootstrap everything. It's not going to be too late if we want to merge multiple repos into one later.

I think monorepo are great if you want to have a single release and testing process. I don’t see how it would be the case for other standards-related modules.

I proposed whatwg-stream because of readable-stream. I’m really not fond of the name, so any help in that regard is welcomed.

+1 to a new repo for whatwg streams (whatever y'all wanna call it).

[dshaw]

+1 for creating the repo. +1 for whatwg-stream. -1 for monorepo, we're too loosely coupled for that to be effective IMO.

@joyeecheung Perhaps we can update the url-whatwg to be whatwg-url for symmetry.

[mcollina]

Repo and team created! We can always change the name later on.

[joyeecheung]

I've renamed the url-whatwg label to whatwg-url in core, FWIW (this does make it more aligned with what we have in the test names)
