### [Streams](https://github.com/nodejs/readable-stream)

The Streams WG is dedicated to the support and improvement of the Streams API
as used in Node.js and the npm ecosystem. We seek to create a composable API that
solves the problem of representing multiple occurrences of an event over time
in a humane, low-overhead fashion. Improvements to the API will be driven by
the needs of the ecosystem; interoperability and backwards compatibility with
other solutions and prior versions are paramount in importance. Our

The i18n Working Groups handle more than just translations. They
are endpoints for community members to collaborate with each
other in their language of choice.

Each team is organized around a common spoken language. Each
language community might then produce multiple localizations for
various project resources.

Their responsibilities are:
* Translations of any Node.js materials they believe are relevant to their
community.
* Review processes for keeping translations up
to date and of high quality.
* Social media channels in their language.
* Promotion of Node.js speakers for meetups and conferences in their
language.
