Sorry for other email.

What do you think about compile node.js and npm into firefoxOS?

With this you can do your mobile like server, sip server, apps....
I would love to reuse the node.js ecosystem in FxOS but I don't really see a 
way on how to implement it except via browserify. We could improve that to take 
advantage of mozTCPSocket, mozTCPServer, etc.
The gaia email client already uses node IMAP libraries with a small polyfill. The Firesea IRC client in the marketplace also uses a node IRC library with another small polyfill.

I would love to see polyfills for all of the node apis implemented against our Firefox OS WebAPIs. There are some which will not be suitable, however, such as node's synchronous file apis.

I don't know how npm works so I don't have anything to say about that.
