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.
I'd like to drop ", or any other language" since we don't support
anything but JS
just yet. Otherwise, this looks good!
Cheers
Jan

Can I go ahead and make the change?
