The responsibilities of the Streams Working Group include: 35 36 * Addressing stream issues on the Node.js issue tracker. 37 * Authoring and editing stream documentation within the Node.js project. 38 * Reviewing changes to stream subclasses within the Node.js project. 39 * Redirecting changes to streams from the Node.js project to this 40 project. 41 * Assisting in the implementation of stream providers within Node.js. 42 * Recommending versions of `readable-stream` to be included in Node.js. 43 * Messaging about the future of streams to give the community advance 44 notice of changes. 45 46 See [readable-stream](https://github.com/nodejs/readable-stream) for 47 more details.
