Interesting. A few questions: (1) What stops user A from accessing user B's data? Will this be done with HTTP authentication? Perhaps in this context it might make more sense to use a Unix domain socket, but then again, nobody talks HTTP over those :-( (2) Is the per-user Erlang/CouchDB process going to be started when the user logs into the graphical desktop (gdm/kdm?) What about having a single system-wide CouchDB instance instead of spawning a new Erlang VM for each user? Then at least, if I log into my home machine via ssh (while not logged into the console), the service would still be there. Regards, Brian.
