Hey,
I think the current project description is too wordy and confusing:
Apache CouchDB is a distributed, fault-tolerant and schema-free
document-oriented database accessible via a RESTful HTTP/JSON API. Among other
features, it provides robust, incremental replication with bi-directional
conflict detection and resolution, and is queryable and indexable using a
table-oriented view engine with JavaScript acting as the default view
definition language.
CouchDB is written in Erlang, but can be easily accessed from any environment
that provides means to make HTTP requests. There are a multitude of
third-party client libraries that make this even easier for a variety of
programming languages and environments.

I suggest the following replacement:
Apache CouchDB is a document-oriented database with a RESTful JSON API. It
provides incremental replication with bi-directional conflict resolution, and
can be queried and indexed with JavaScript, or any other language.
CouchDB is written in Erlang, but can be accessed from any environment that
allows HTTP requests. There are myriad third-party client libraries that make
this even easier from your programming language of choice.
Can I go ahead and make the change?
Thanks,
