In rcouch_template [1] (and refuge project) we have made each couchdb dependencies as standalone app. ejson, snappy, and others [2] . So it may help in the bigcouch project too. Maybe we could share efforts on that. Also I planned to add bigcouch templates as well. - benoît [1] https://github.com/refuge/rcouch_template [2] https://github.com/refuge & http://refuge.io/code
