Hi Couchers, we're getting into a phase where CouchDB is distributed in software distributions (like Ubuntu) with long term support on the distributors end. While this is in theory none of our concern, we probably want to make sure our future is as smooth as theirs (i.e. users are likely to come

Hi, I'm thinking something along the lines of having the Futon interface create _design documents that include a futon: true member so that we can filter them out in other parts of the interface, plus a list of Old temp views that you could pull up and edit. This would also give us the ability
