I hate to say it, but there is a nugget of truth to this; the post is a giant wall of text when there should really be a summary of what the project is first, with the 'why' second.

It took some browsing of the GitHub repos for me to figure out what this is. But I like it, and will probably use it, so the code is not the issue, just the presentation. :)

Did you see ampersandjs.com? Perhaps we don't link to that clearly enough.

Though yes, a better overview would be useful.

You don't link to it clearly enough. I also had a "just show me the code" reaction, and all I saw was the example of how to create a restful collections module.
I think it's good that people explain why they created something. If you don't know WHY they created it, WHY would you use it? And when you know the 'why', the 'what' becomes much more clear.
Yes, I see the site now - I'm an old hat Backbone dev so this is actually pretty succinct & great. Again, thanks for this project.
