I'm building the nrg framework mostly for curiosity and fun, but since I know how the world works, I would also like to use it for external validation and earn reputation/respect points. I would like someone from OpenJS foundation, or the Node-RED team, to review my work in the near future and "promote" how good/bad my work is.

obs: to be clear, I don't want to buy anything just earn it and be seen|known.

The OpenJS Foundation itself is primarily concerned with projects that have a wide impact in the JS community, that have an ongoing and active adoption and have multiple contributors from a range of organisations. It's goal is to bring open governance to projects, rather than just be a showcase of interesting projects.

As for the Node-RED organisation, that would be an possibility. The question comes whether this is strategically something we want to 'adopt' within the core project. We have limited resources in the project, and we have been burnt before by accepting large contributions of 'extras' around the core that then get abandoned and Dave and I end up having to try to keep ticking over.

At this stage, I'd say, lets wait and see if there's interest/adoption of what you've been doing - and how it fits along side things we already have in the project. We already have [GitHub - node-red/node-red-dev-cli: Command-line tool for Node-RED Node authors](https://github.com/node-red/node-red-dev-cli) - which I originally saw as becoming this sort of bootstrapping tool for nodes - but it didn't get the time/attention it needed to get there.

I would be happy with that. Would you like to incorporate the nrg cli into the node-red org in github? I would just insist in having its bin name as is because I want to use it to promote myself as a product creator.

I wouldn't abandon my child, and I don't have intentions to "burn" anyone with my contributions. I'm doing it for free, really.

I think most people in the community aren't concerned about creating a structure for developing node libraries since It never happened in the last 10+ years, so it will be difficult to convince them to use it without a strong "influence" such as yourself.
