  Makefile (run tests)
  index.js (require app.js and start it listening on a port)
  package.json (include dependencies and devDependencies, package.json isn't just for publishing to npm)
  lib/
   app.js (Set up your Express app, assuming it's Express of course.  You could do var User = require('models').User)
    controllers/
      users.js
    models/
      index.js (do exports.User = require('./user'); for each model)
      user.js (maybe Mongoose schemas or whatever db you're using)
    views/
      users/
  node_modules/
    (installed modules go here)


Note: Mongoose allows you to create your model schemas without being connected to Mongoose first, so don't worry about the fact there isn't a 'connected' Mongoose object instance in the model files.
