Node.js Foundation take jurisdiction of Express Web framework

The Node.js Foundation, which has jurisdiction over the popular server-side JavaScript platform, is adding the Express MVC Web framework for Node.js as an incubation project, to ensure its continued viability.

Express, or Expressjs, is a minimalist Web framework for developing Web and mobile applications. Incubation status means the project will receive mentoring and open source governance from the foundation, a representative said.  

"The end goal here is to maintain stability," foundation representative Zibby Keaton said in an email. "Through open governance, the Node.js Foundation wants more contributors to become a part of the project and ensure that this framework is around for a long time. There will be two mentors that will help guide the project to ensure that this happens."
