[Sugar-devel] Sugar-devel Digest, Vol 112, Issue 16

[Sidhant Bhavnani]

Hey Pratul, interesting stuff. Do also check out https://docs.npmjs.com/
documentation for NPM. I found this design and video first format really
helpful while trying to learn NPM. Maybe that's something that we could aim
for at SL too. Plus we also have some video tutorials for sugarizer already.

Regards,
