It has always been a dream of mine to offer an Internet forum. In fact, see my preliminary attempt here:

http://jfknumbers-forum.org/forums/

I am a 1-person Not-for-Profit, Free Open Source operation. The phpBB software forum is free, the only price I can afford. Their support is simply some of the worst I have seen.

Newbie alert...

I am an experienced Un*x sysadmin and programmer. However, JavaScript and its huge ecosystem can be overwhelming. My main target now is Node.js.

I have been locating, downloading and installing a lot of packages:

npm install this
npm install that
npm install the-other
npm install one-more

The input is always whole directories.

I just found out that jQuery is very important, so I decided to install it. The problem is that in the official site they offer one single file. It is ASCII with the extension *.js

https://jquery.com/download/

That doesn't feel right. A rather large system, contained in one text file?

TIA,
