Marko, an eBay-created open source JavaScript user interface library designed to streamline Web development, is moving to the JS Foundation. “eBay has been a longtime core contributor to open source technology. And, we firmly believe that we should use technology to empower and globally connect people,” said Patrick Steele-Idem, principal engineer at eBay. “By housing Marko under the JS Foundation, we hope more developers will be able to collaborate and contribute to the long-term goals of the project.”
Steele-Idem added that the change in management will allow Marko to align more closely with other parts of the JavaScript ecosystem.
