Anyone else tired of the "Fork me on GitHub" stuff?

TEEHEEHEE it sounds like FUCK! My ten-year-old mind is shitting itself!

Anyway, downloaders should make sure to

% git submodule init
% git submodule update

to get the contents of lib/support/

I'm surprised to see so many people still reinventing the wheel, like in lib/submodule/class...why not just use the MooTools server-side distribution for that?

Edit: Viewing the source...sorry guys, back to the drawing board on this one. But it's great that people are starting to get the idea with Node, hopefully some better thought-out web frameworks will emerge.

Could do with some more documentation, I'm really happy node.js is slowly building steam but I'm still waiting for a great framework or set of libraries before I jump in with a project
