Thanks guys, I think the point has been made and I appreciate your last comments. I think I reacted a bit aggressively at some points and sounded trollish now that I read back so your responses might have not been entirely without basis so I apologize as well. My faith in humanity is restored.

In the earlier days of node, when isaac and i were first putting up the registry, we did think about the problems that come with a single global namespace. In the end it was still a better decision to go with a single global namespace for the following reasons. 1. Manufactured Scarcity. The

Hi all, I really want to name my modules however I like and be installable and require-able. For example, I want to write a 'merge' utility, and I don't want to struggle coming up with a random set of letters because I want my code to read require('merge') not require('golalamergifiable'). What

It's an answer to unrelated question. If a package is intended to be used in public, it should be in public registry (npmjs.org). If it's for internal use, github will do fine. But namespaces could do the job if you publish a package with a name like stagas.merge. It's quite uncommon though.

Whoever likes can publish to npm, whoever likes can push to Github. Both should be given equal chance of discovery though. Github is a tool for development, npm registry is a tool for deployment. Am I missing something here? By the way, mix of those two is very well known to create serious
