Node naming convention - Scoped packages

[Paul-Reed]

I'm not sure if I've read this correctly, but... when using scoped node names is it now necessary when initially publishing the package to npm, to do so using npm publish --access public??

Yes, or use npm access public to make it public after you have published it.

I don't think it will let you publish if you don't set it to public unless you have a paid npm plan.
