I published Q in 2009. I based it on another project by the same name and API that was published by Tyler Close in 2007. https://waterken.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/waterken/server... His work was based on the E programming language and the name is a reference to the underlying event "queue".

Q is around the 20th most depended-upon package in the Node.js package manager, NPM and is downloaded about 100,000 times a month. https://npmjs.org/package/q

I would recommend calling your library Qbix.js with the Qbix name space.

That's a good recommendation. Maybe we'll call it the Qbix library. It's just that our entire large framework (which primarily runs on PHP and Node.js) is called Q, and what I published is just one file from the front-end SDK..
