That is certainly better in my opinion than no doc at all. > You don't need to regerenate code you can use couchapp macro or any > templating system in current solution. You are thinking as though you maintain couchapp :-) Sure that is no problem for the developer of a CouchApp but consider what happens once you deploy it. For example lets say there is a blogging CouchApp that people(*) use and it has a debugging mode implemented by a rewrite (eg it rewrites shows/lists with -debug suffix). It is far easier to change a single key on the design doc (or whatever doc is presented to the _rewrite function) than to require that user to download and install couchapp, edit the correct files and redeploy. (*) As CouchDB becomes more successful the administrators and users of CouchApps will increasingly have no knowledge of Javascript, what REST is, how all the pieces fit together etc. Consider trying to explain how to change a rewrite function versus telling them to go to futon and change a key in the appropriate doc.
