In the readme, explain the difference between aurelia-validation and aurelia-validatejs.

Currently, the repository descriptions do not explain much. How are these different, how are they the same, does one depend on the other, does one extend the capabilities of the other?

From the repo descriptions and readme documents:

• Aurelia-validation. A validation plugin for Aurelia. This plugin supplies generic validation components for your Aurelia application. It also defines interfaces to be implemented by validation engines and validation renderers.
• Auerlia-validatejs. Enables expressive validation using decorators and/or a fluent API. This is a plugin that will allow using validate.js in your Aurelia application for expressive validation. Karma/Jasmine testing is also configured.

http://blog.durandal.io/2016/06/14/new-validation-alpha-is-here/ provides a good explanation. Perhaps simply link to this in the readme of both. Here are the most important items to include, in my opinion.

aurelia-validation

• is generic, i.e. it requires an implementation of the Validator interface
• provides a ValidationController
• a validate binding behavior, and
• a Validator interface

aurelia-validatejs

• implements, extends, and depends on aurelia-validation
• provides a validatejs implementation of the aurelia-validation Validator interface,
• is based on validatejs, an existing, open-source validation library,
• provides both fluent and decorator-based APIs for defining validation rules
