Caolan McMahon commented on COUCHDB-1089:
-----------------------------------------
@Dale: if you find support for that patch I'd also consider exposing the filter
and its parameters if a filter is used for replication. It could open up some
really nice UI possiblities. Providing these details could make setting up
custom sync with couchapps a user rather than an admin thing.
Also, if we decide to expose _active_tasks on a per-database level it would
make sense to expose it at the root level under a vhost (much like /_session).

> Project: CouchDB

> Currently you have to be a database administrator to access _active_tasks.
> For UX purposes I would like to allow anyone to see view generation statuses,
> preferably on a per database level. This solves the problem of the first user
> to generate a view that then receives no time estimate as to when their
> process will be completed. I can't think of an application use case for
> making replication data public.
> I spoke with Volker Mische about the implementation details on this issue and
> he asserted after a code dive that it appears achievable, though the innards
> of the view status code were not familiar to him.
