Absolutely agreed - comments are so important! Seemingly when I was working on jQuery alone and without much feedback I was totally fine just having no comments. I noticed that in the subsequent releases of the code that the number of comments quickly rose - likely as people started to use the library I felt bad that the code was so poorly explained!

I still have 0.3 in my code base, and there are some gems like:

     // Arrrrghhhhhhhh!!
     // I overwrote the event plugin's .load
     // this won't happen again, I hope -John

BTW, do you know what happened to Dean Edwards. He was doing some really interesting work around the same time as you.
