Hi,

Maybe I'm am being dim (or was being dim), but it took me ages to figure 
out that in order to get the recommended set of rules, I needed:
"extends": "eslint:recommended"

In my .eslintrc.

I read this from the rules page (http://eslint.org/docs/rules/):

> Though none are enabled by default, you can turn on rules that ESLint 
> recommends by specifying your configuration to inherit from 
> eslint:recommended. The rules that will be enabled when you inherit from
> eslint:recommended are indicated below as "(recommended)". For more 
> information on how to configure rules and inherit from eslint:recommended, 
> please see the configuration documentation 
> <http://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/configuring>.

And I was thinking, Yes yes yes, that's what I want, I really want to 
inherit your recommended rules, but alas I couldn't figure it out from 
there. I went through to configuration documentation, and couldn't see how 
to *use* eslint:recommened. There is a section on 'extending' but the text 
above doesn't mention that in order to "inherit" eslint's recommended 
rules, you need to extend. It might be a bit dumb but I didn't make that 
link.

I think it would be an improvement if the text on the rules page said 
something like "... specifying your configuration inherit from 
eslint:recommended by using `"extends": "eslint:recommended"`.

I'm sorry this is not a pull request, but I don't know how to do that yet.

Thanks,

Andy
