You can just try the built-in wikis (see example links on the API front page) or test snippets using the forms. > - export NODE_PATH=node_modules is Unix-centric - what should Windows > users do?

Will add something to that effect. > - my test results were (with a week old repo): 1854 total passed tests, > 1107 total failures That means that Windows works just as well as Linux, which is great given that we have never tested it on Windows!
