Thanks for the reply! That was everything I needed. There was no sarcasm in my original request for some documentation...I simply had never found http://nodejs.org/api/addons.html nor https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/_pages (which, as you point out, has no central page for add-on docs, but has some good info). I had visited the Home page on the wiki, browsed through it, saw no relevant links, and left. It never occurred to me that there was a Pages tab.
I'll give some thought to how these might be made more visible/cohesive, then set to work.
