I've been following CouchDB for a while and I'm really impressed with the way 
it's coming along.

However, like >90% of the users out there, I'm not a business and I don't 
really care about replication and daemons and scary things that go bump in the 
kernel.  I just need somewhere to put my address lists and record collection.

Are there any plans, or is it even feasible, to make a serverless version of 
CouchDB, in a manor similar to SqLite?

For those who don't know SqLite: CouchDB would be a file or set of files.  It 
"starts up" when the file is opened and "shuts down" when the file closes.  If 
you can read the file you can read the DB.  If you can write the file, you an 
write the DB.  Database locking is handled by the DB.

I think a *lot* of potential casual database users would be interested in a no 
hassle/no mystery version of CouchDB they could play with.  It's something to 
think about.
