Express (http://expressjs.com/) is a popular web framework for node.  A common feature of Express is to install it globally via 'npm install -g' so that you can generate an application skeleton for your webapp via command line (see http://expressjs.com/guide.html#executable ).

It would be really cool to provide this type of functionality from Orion, either A. via the shell page (either through an optional plugin or preferably automagically after running npm install -g).
-OR-
B. via a new 'Create new content' button on the home-page.  But I guess this option is blocked by https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=407267
