Echo JS 0.11.0

Well, I mentioned my opinion on the other post, but I'll mention it again here.

My humble opinion is that EchoJS should stay JavaScript focused.

Now, the description of EchoJS "community-driven news site entirely focused on JavaScript development, HTML5, and front-end news." in conjunction with the content rule, makes sense since JavaScript main use is related with Web front-end projects. Since that its the main use, is normal that most of the news are going to be front-end related.

But as most of you (I'm betting all of you!) know, JavaScript is no longer a websites-only language. With nodejs and other cool projects like esprino, JavaScript is being used more and more for non-frontend related stuff.

If this site becomes about general front-end news, posting things like esprino here would not make a lot of sense.

The way I have been interpreting the conjunction of the description and the content rule is something like: "EchoJS is a community-driven news site entirely focused on JavaScript development. That includes news about HTML5 and front-end in general, as long they are related some way to JavaScript."

But that is only my personal interpretation. What you think about this?

(Of course, a compromise solution is possible; turning EchoJS to be officially a site with news about general frontend technologies (HTML+CSS+JS) AND non-frontend JavaScript-only projects. But IMHO, that sounds somewhat wrong. What are your thoughts about that?)
