I'm sorry; I hit the send button before completing my post. I was going to say "...and that extern-handler capability"... is a rip-snorter of a great idea. Its presence has definitely saved me weeks of work. I've made one or two tentative changes to the Erlang code locally - if I find myself becoming more proficient/confident at it - or discover anything other way I might be useful in helping CouchDB become more Windows-friendly, I'll certainly jump in to help.

I've been using CouchDB (0.9.0) on windows for the past couple of months. I switched from Linux so that I could use a large amount of legacy C++ code, re-worked into a series of little executables, which are launched by couch's extern handler to perform certain tasks. For my purposes, CouchDB on windows has been operating very well, and that extern-handler capability

I'll read through the wiki and give it a shot.

I would like to see a Windows user sending us regular patches, and getting
stuck
in with the development and support of CouchDB from this perspective. After
a
while, I would want this person to become a full committer. I really don't
think
we should be claiming Windows support until at least one of the core
developers
is a genuine Windows user.

If you need pointers on where to get stuck in, I'm your guy.
