Hello, I am a student just interested in CouchDB architecture and, what is more excellent, that is written,commonly, in erlang. I would like to participate GSoC 2009 with Apache. I am doing my third year of B.D. in Voronezh State University, Russia. I already downloaded couchedb sources from its svn repository. I have to know when I can start working on it and I should write an application draft to you, as I suppose. I also wait some more detailed requirements, since I could not realize what exactly should be done as part of Windows porting. Please, specify whether it requires just autotools-based tools testing and choosing the better for Windows, some work onto setting up CouchDB deployment on Windows or it requires also some significant(? or not) source code modifications to port it on Windows. Hence, I will be able to determine whether I could do all the job at the time we have to complete GSoC projects. It does not mean I will stop working on, after GSoC finished) There might be also my mixing up whether based-autotools knowledge is required apriori or a posteriori, what means a student will get knowledge and review of this tools while working on the project. Best, Chekmarev Alex
