Rename of "language groups" from iojs-* to nodejs-*

Related to #2367 (comment) et al. Given convergence, the question comes up about the WG names iojs-* changing to nodejs-*?

For stability and continuity, each group may need to rename itself, or at least come to consensus.

The TSC could provide guidance here.

A few notes: fully formed and functional working groups are autonomous, so the most we can do is suggest a name change to those working groups.

However, many of the language communities are inactive and we should be able to transition them to a new name. My suggestion would be:

Use "nodejs-", we discussed some alternatives like "community-" but I think this is better and has parity with what we did before. The concern i remember noted was that we have "node-gyp" and other "node-" things, but we don't have any nodejs- things so this should be fine.
Post an issue to every WG repo proposing the change. Note that inactive repos will be migrated by a certain date, while active communities should take this opportunity to consider a name change and decide how to handle it themselves.

@mikeal

@mikeal thanks. I've hopefully adopted the sentiment here.

Can I get any +1s on the proposed wording in https://gist.github.com/srl295/e5b502d5eb015c0b093a ? I put the target date as Sept 23rd (3 weeks).

@yorkie

@yorkie could be, not sure what the pros and cons are. But there are other "non-technical" repos also, could you just track this one (nodejs/node)?

@mikeal

@mikeal any comments on the gist above? Timing? (maybe +3 weeks from when the notice goes out)?

@srl295

@srl295 +1

3-week timeline OK'ed by TSC in meeting #3126 , so I will start sending these out.

Need to update WORKING_GROUPS.md
Need to update other website/links

@mikeal

@mikeal I think that may be the case. Can we assume if they renamed (or had renamed) their repo that the team can follow? Again they are all renames to nodejs-* except for nodejs-zh-CN and nodejs-zh-TW

probably, but i would also like them to assign a maintainer if they don't have one

@mikeal

@mikeal I closed all issues. There are 19 of these with wrong team names. Should I reopen these 19 issues and say- please assign a maintainer, rename team, and close this, and if you need help contact ???

just comment in the closed issue that if they want a team maintainer they should ping me. i'll go ahead and move them now.

all moved.

@mikeal

@mikeal thanks! I think i'm close to closing this issue. May need to check on website issues.
