This whole discussion makes me even more convinced that CouchDB and CouchApps should be separate things. In my view, CouchDB is a database. The REST API and some of the other features it offers conspire to make this CouchApp thing possible, but it shouldn't distract from CouchDB-the-database. Sure, concrete feature requests for CouchApp-type things should be fed back into CouchDB development, but that doesn't mean that CouchDB itself (or Futon, which I consider an important part of CouchDB) should be organized around CouchApps. I think that currently, the swirling vortex of CouchApp-like projects is more of a distraction to the CouchDB community than a force for constructive feedback. Cheers, Dirkjan
