# Technical values and their priorities
doc: add technical values document As part of the [next-10](https://github.com/nodejs/next-10) we found we needed to capture the project's technical values/priorities as a starting point before discussing key technologies/areas for the next 10 years of Node.js This is a first cut that the team put together. The discussion took place in a few meetings as well as this [PR](https://github.com/nodejs/next-10/pull/11). We believe the doc should live in the core node repository as it is intended to reflect the agreement of the collaborator base. I think this is a good starting point but we also acknowledge that only a small subset of the Node.js collaborators have participated/commented so far. This PR should be a good way to get additional review/input from the larger set of Node.js collaborators.

The project uses these technical values to establish priorities and guide
collaboration.
These are the shared values as of this writing and will
evolve. We hope they are useful to people new
to the project in order to better understand which contributions
will be aligned with the current direction and as thinking
points when trading off between conflicting goals.
The factors influencing every discussion/decision are
different and priority 1 does not always trump priority 2
and so on.

I think this is a good starting point but we also acknowledge that only a small subset of the Node.js collaborators have participated/commented so far. This PR should be a good way to get additional review/input from the larger set of Node.js collaborators.

We value providing developers with modern APIs and technologies
following existing standards whenever possible.
Some key elements of this include:
doc: add technical values document As part of the [next-10](https://github.com/nodejs/next-10) we found we needed to capture the project's technical values/priorities as a starting point before discussing key technologies/areas for the next 10 years of Node.js This is a first cut that the team put together. The discussion took place in a few meetings as well as this [PR](https://github.com/nodejs/next-10/pull/11). We believe the doc should live in the core node repository as it is intended to reflect the agreement of the collaborator base. I think this is a good starting point but we also acknowledge that only a small subset of the Node.js collaborators have participated/commented so far. This PR should be a good way to get additional review/input from the larger set of Node.js collaborators.
