[request] Node.js
You probably already know about Node. Well, the tutorials I've seen for it are either not up to snuff (example: 90% of them show how to start an Express website with 0% customization, and no explanation of the methods being used) or for old versions which, despite what some say, don't seem to play well with the newest version. Having a tutorial that follows the guidelines in the README would be amazing.
I am strongly considering adding a frameworks section, this would be perfect for it. Too bad I don't really know anything about node.js
Maybe you can appeal to someone in the community or on Twitter. Maybe @mention the NodeJS Twitter account. (I would do this myself, but I don't use Twitter.) I would really appriciate it if someone would step up to bat and take a shot at this to help others learn.
On the topic of adding a frameworks section, there are tons of frameworks for just about any language, as you likely know. Some I can name off the top of my head are LESS and SASS for CSS; Backbone, Node, Ember, jQuery, Prototype, MooTools, Dojo, Sencha, jQuery UI, jQuery Mobile, Angular, Raphiel, D3, three, Kendo UI, Appcelerator Titanium, Zepto,SproutCore, Knockout, ExtJS, Batman, Modernizr, RequireJS, for JavaScript; CakePHP, Laravel, CodeIgniter, Yii for PHP; Rails, Grails, Sinatra for Ruby.
Of course this is nothing compared to the full list of all the frameworks for front-end languages like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Dart, etc., for server-side environments like PHP, Ruby, Python, (ASP?).NET, etc., and I'm sure there is an even larger list for desktop and mobile languages.
What sort of stuff would you cover in a Node.js tutorial? Just module loading, the Node standard library and the ins and outs of NPM?

@adambrenecki I would cover the basics, going beyond module loading, more like going through the most used pre-packaged modules and functions, and how to use them effectively. Examples might be the HTTP module (http), the File System module (fs), .get(), streams, etc.
Yeah, that's what I meant by the Node standard library.
I might work on this at some point, but I won't commit to it yet since I still haven't got around to finishing CoffeeScript or SQL yet.
When I see a pull request with category: frameworks in the frontmatter I'll make it so :)
Do i have to create doc for Node js ? I just created meteor js , and waiting for merge ..!! can some verify the meteor doc ,so that i can go ahead with node?
@adambard Maybe we can start with the frameworks section with Meteor JS itself. It's been merged in #1711
Seems reasonable -- all that's needed is to set category: Frameworks in the relevant (english) docs and they'll be grouped automatically.
