LGTM

It seems nobody maintain PRs ?

@bnb - who could take care of this?

@nodejs/ctc (?) This would probably necessitate us checking the wiki here from time to time...

@danielkhan @Fishrock123 @jsonbruce I can take care of this - sorry, didn't get a notification for it. I am slightly reluctant to add a link to the wiki for a few reasons.

There's not much content there right now - this can very frequently lead to a disheartening and bad experience for newcomers to a project looking to get help or learn. That said, I would absolutely love to change this.

The instructions are also for the v.6.x Stable branch - it would be really rad to also include the LTS branch install instructions in the Wiki page for a comprehensive install guide before the install instructions go live.

Additionally, as @Fishrock123 said, this would be a long-term maintenance thing. The installation instructions are currently slightly outdated, with them instructing to install v6.5.0.

I'm absolutely 👍 on adding this! I just want to make sure there's not any confusion for people looking for help in the repo down the road.

If we aren't going to use the wiki (well), we should either restrict editing, or disable it and move the content into the other docs.

@cjihrig Ideally that kind of content would go in the Node.js Docs / Guides. I'm 👍 on restricting editing. Just want to get additional input - I'd like to make sure I'm not the decision maker on that without others comments.

Hahah

+1 for limiting the wiki on help to ensure we keep the canonical resource fresh. Let's also be sure we're pointing folks to these resources.

https://github.com/nodejs/node/wiki/Installation is the canonical resource.

@bnb Should we go ahead & merge this? It's been sitting for a while. Yah or Nah

@bnb is this not relevant anymore? If yes, please close it.

@nodejs/collaborators @nodejs/community-committee someone please take care of this thing or we'll have to start celebrating its birthday like those old mozilla bugs...
