Hi all, It came to my mind that a some people are asking how the couchdb internals are working. Some for implementing alternatives, some to start start to hack on couchdb and others for pure curiosity.
I have started a repository to collect the docs about it: https://github.com/benoitc/couchdb_internals For now it only contains the docs I have about the replication algorithm. If you want to join me in that effort, just open a PR. For those who also want direct commit access, then start with a pr with some content and ask for it. This is that simple. Things that will be accepted on that repo are: - docs - corrections - anything that can help to maintain and display such docs. Part of the docs could eventually be merged later in the couchdb repository but I also think that having such repo outside can also be a good start for a collaboration between many projects around and share new ideas/implementations details. Anyway will be on irc or on the ml if you want to discuss about it. Best, - benoit
