@jrburke Perfect.I was thinking of something along the lines of setting up a new repo or organization for taking the UMD work further. Let me setup something this evening. I'll add everyone that's been involved in discussions so far and we can see how things might shape there.

what about this simplest approach? https://alicoding.com/write-javascript-modules-that-works-both-in-nodejs-and-browser-with-requirejs/

7 years on, and UMD to consider - are there any updates (or links for referral)?

@PandaWood Yes, here: https://github.com/umdjs/umd
