Talk about an excellent problem to be running into.

  Yes, this is truly a good kind of problem to have – but a problem none the less :)

    #nodejs irc.freenode.net If the Github watch count for a Node module can't help you pick, just ask the hundreds of people who are always in the IRC channel. In the Drupal world someone who proposes a module that duplicates an existing module that does things badly can be blocked. That's a bad policy because one size fits all leads to wearing burlap sacks. The fact that npm is not a planned economy is brilliant. If you want to add ratings, etc., npm is backed by CouchDB and thereform ridiculously each to build upon. In addition to being able to freely read npm repo info, you can also extend package.json info with your own fields. I remember when drupamodules.com came out, providing a solution for rating Drupal modules (something drupal.org still doesn't have, AFAIK). The guy who made it got grief for not making something blessed by the mothership. As an example of how CouchDB helps make npm awesome, wanna find every field used in npm package.json files? Boom (thanks to Isaac S for this tidbit)! http://registry.npmjs.org/-/fields?group=true http://registry.npmjs.org/-/fields?group=true
