Please, make it better. The last thing the JavaScript community as a whole needs is more fragmentation. You know JavaScript, why don't you contribute to NPM?
When that security bullshit happened with RubyGems a year ago, many members of the Ruby community pitched in and helped the RubyGems team get the site back in order, even making Chef scripts so the whole thing is repeatable. Now, RubyGems is more secure and runs faster than ever.
Thank you for posting this. I completely agree. We already have a package manager, there's no need to fork it and have to have 2 competing things when it's all open source and those with knowledge can contribute to make npm better.
