Open source Node.js port

Open source the port of Node.js to IBM i in a public repository for the purposes of transparency and community collaboration.


Use Case:

Today I collaborated with Andrea Ribuoli, tech lead of PowerRuby.com, and had a conversation that includes the following excerpts:

- Rails 5.1 introduced a new pre-requisite, the yarn package, that requires Node.js >= 4.

- yarn fails with... Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, uv_resident_set_memory

- I noted there's a PMR that includes a delivered PTF(n1)

- If the Node.js port to IBM i was open source then other capable developers (like Andrea) could aid in resolving these issues.

    All IBM i-specific changes have been pushed to the upstream Node.js GitHub repository as of Node.js v10 and we will continue to push changes upstream as we make them.

    We will be upstreaming all changes made for the IBM i port to the public Node.JS project at a future date.
