I'm working on code to detect CouchApps, and adding it to Futon is the first place I can think of to put it. I think once devs have had a chance to file off the rough edges, we can think about another global handler for users (maybe /_apps ?) that will list all end-user friendly design docs that are available on a particular node. Ideally this would be an HTML representation available at "/" but currently we're using that path for node info. Chris -- Chris Anderson http://jchris.mfdz.com
