I think npm would be the way to go in the future, maybe we need a bit of iteration before we’re ready to go directly to using the public npm perhaps. We will have a “trusted couchdb instance” available soon (before Christmas, this year) in the ASF infrastructure which could trivially be set up to host these. I’ll ping dev@ as soon as its up, and there’s no reason why it couldn’t host a couch configured like npm to start with. Or other stuff. A+ Dave
