+npm-registry(7) -- The JavaScript Package Registry
+==================================================
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+
+To resolve packages by name and version, npm talks to a registry website
+that implements the CommonJS Package Registry specification for reading
+package info.
+
+Additionally, npm's package registry implementation supports several
+write APIs as well, to allow for publishing packages and managing user
+account information.
+
+The official public npm registry is at <https://registry.npmjs.org/>.  It
+is powered by a CouchDB database, of which there is a public mirror at
+<https://skimdb.npmjs.com/registry>.  The code for the couchapp is
+available at <https://github.com/npm/npm-registry-couchapp>.
+
+The registry URL used is determined by the scope of the package (see
+`npm-scope(7)`). If no scope is specified, the default registry is used, which is
+supplied by the `registry` config parameter.  See `npm-config(1)`,
+`npmrc(5)`, and `npm-config(7)` for more on managing npm's configuration.
+
+## Can I run my own private registry?
+
+Yes!
+
+The easiest way is to replicate the couch database, and use the same (or
+similar) design doc to implement the APIs.
+
+If you set up continuous replication from the official CouchDB, and then
+set your internal CouchDB as the registry config, then you'll be able
+to read any published packages, in addition to your private ones, and by
+default will only publish internally. 
+
+If you then want to publish a package for the whole world to see, you can
+simply override the `--registry` option for that `publish` command.
+
+## I don't want my package published in the official registry. It's private.
+
+Set `"private": true` in your package.json to prevent it from being
+published at all, or
+`"publishConfig":{"registry":"http://my-internal-registry.local"}`
+to force it to be published only to your internal registry.
+
+See `package.json(5)` for more info on what goes in the package.json file.
+
+## Will you replicate from my registry into the public one?
+
+No.  If you want things to be public, then publish them into the public
+registry using npm.  What little security there is would be for nought
+otherwise.
+
+## Do I have to use couchdb to build a registry that npm can talk to?
+
+No, but it's way easier.  Basically, yes, you do, or you have to
+effectively implement the entire CouchDB API anyway.
+
+## Is there a website or something to see package docs and such?
+
+Yes, head over to <https://npmjs.com/>
