Oh really? As a non-Node.js guy, I would love to see some others. Can you show me some examples please? Thanks!

Node.js packages are usually small and self-contained. Without typing/APIs Node relies heavily on documentation, so packages which are not well-documented will fall into oblivion quickly. Who'd write a OSS library which nobody can use? My personal favorite, interactive docs! http://coffeescript.org/ http://coffeescript.org/ I like these ones because of the straightforwardness: http://socket.io/ http://socket.io/ http://jade-lang.com/ http://jade-lang.com/ http://mongoosejs.com/ http://mongoosejs.com/ And many more: http://visionmedia.github.com/mocha/ http://visionmedia.github.com/mocha/ http://meteor.com/ http://meteor.com/ http://derbyjs.com/ http://derbyjs.com/ http://compoundjs.com/ http://compoundjs.com/ http://learnboost.github.com/stylus/ http://learnboost.github.com/stylus/ Almost all packages without a website have a README (npm spits out warnings if missing README): https://npmjs.org/package/request https://npmjs.org/package/request https://npmjs.org/package/browserify https://npmjs.org/package/browserify https://npmjs.org/package/formidable https://npmjs.org/package/formidable https://npmjs.org/package/forever https://npmjs.org/package/forever

  To be fair only one of these has a video

    Well, not all projects show off on video. IMHO, a video is a sloooow way to present information. I'd rather skim through some examples/demos/interactive docs.

  Mocha's docs are pretty awful, actually. If you don't know how to use it when you start, the docs are not going to help, much. They're mostly buzzwords and examples that show (in limited cases) "what", but not "why", and give you no purchase for answering questions about how to structure things.
