About the JavaScript Village
Don't you think it's about time we started a JavaScript group? JavaScript has exploded. At this point, that's an understatement. We're going to focus on the whole JavaScript world here and subgroups will fall out later. HTML5, CSS, Node, Express, AngularJS, the list seems to go on forever.
