@jbenet and @lgierth met with the fine folks of [nycmesh.net](https://nycmesh.net). For the past two years they've been building a community Wifi network in New York City. We had lots of great conversation about wireless mesh networking and IPFS. If you live in NYC, you should come attend their [meetups](http://www.meetup.com/nycmesh/)! | ||

Many people jumped to IPFS as a possible solution to this problem. With a permanent filesystem, unpublishing wouldn't be possible. Here's one post titled [How to use IPFS to fix npm](http://amreldib.com/blog/HowToUseIpfsToFixNpm); here's [an issue](https://github.com/ipmjs/ipmjs/issues/9) on a new GitHub organization, ipmjs, trying to find consensus on how to fix npm using a permanent storage system; here's an npm module, [cowpen](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cowpen) that publishes modules directly to IPFS; here's [another decentralized package manager](https://github.com/mhhf/spore) that sprung up using IPFS and Ethereum. | ||

The IPFS community has been thinking about immutable package managers for a long time. @daviddias has a project called `registry-mirror`, which gets npm packages by using IPFS. He's written about a presentation he gave for it, [here](http://blog.daviddias.me/2015/12/08/stellar-module-management); the [source code](https://github.com/diasdavid/registry-mirror) is here. |

- s/daviddias/diasdavid (he's backwards on GH; forwards everywhere else)
- If you don't me suggesting: "[...]
registry-mirror
, which allows you to run an npm registry locally that is backed by packages retrieved from IPFS instead of NPM directly." for more conciseness on what it does. - Nitpick: maybe linkify "here" instead of "source code"? I'm being english-y nitpick-y here and wouldn't do it if it wasn't you @RichardLitt ❤️ -- but I think the nomenclature of using "here" in online documents only works because the noun refers to the hyperlink that it is contained within. Please feel free to disagree -- Strunk and White very well might.

@noffle @lgierth @haadcode @diasdavid @whyrusleeping @nginnever @jbenet @eminence Going to be changing this to a double-issue; also going to be doing last week. This is 100% my bad. Can you add anything here or in the collection issue for everything before this Monday? Things I need to add:

Aye, you might want to check the new js-ipfs Captain.log entry, mate!
Following js-ipfs roadmap, we’re close™ to have a workable js-ipfs version that can be used in the browser and in Node.js. This will mark a very important milestone on the IPFS project and enable a whole set of new distributed web applications to be possible. If you want to be part of this effort, check out our Captain.log entry to get a full update and a list of tasks you can contribute to.

add after first sentence:
IPFS itself began as an immutable package manager, and it is built to make writing them much easier.

### Orbit | ||

@haadcode has been working on improvements to [orbit-db](https://github.com/haadcode/orbit-db), [ipfs-log](https://github.com/haadcode/ipfs-log/) and [Orbit](https://github.com/haadcode/orbit). The message history fetching is now more stable and the UI feedback for loading messages is fixed. All this work will improve the user experience of Orbit. |
