That would be really, really helpful. While I can now create and "call" a view, I'm still a little confused as to the terminology involved and the intended usage patterns. For instance, you used the term "namespace". What might a namespace be? Also, the design document includes the key "views" - are there other keys supported? Or is that TBD? Also, apparently I can define multiple view functions in the "view" key - that's cool, but I don't quite understand the intended usage pattern. For example, how should I name my namespaces and my views? Perhaps like this? http://localhost:5984/vehicles/_view/cars/get_all_cars http://localhost:5984/vehicles/_view/cars/get_car http://localhost:5984/vehicles/_view/trucks/get_all_trucks http://localhost:5984/vehicles/_view/trucks/get_truck ...or... http://localhost:5984/vehicles/_view/data/this http://localhost:5984/vehicles/_view/data/that http://localhost:5984/vehicles/_view/reporting/this http://localhost:5984/vehicles/_view/reporting/that ...? Or maybe I'm missing the point, perhaps it's intended to be as open-ended as it is, so we can make up our own usage patterns. Thanks!!! Avi
