There's an increasing amount of replication interest and conversation--which is fabulous! :D

I'd like to propose that a dedicated list for discussing replicating with Apache CouchDB be setup to provide a space just for that.

PouchDB, Couchbase Lite (TouchDB), Cloudant, couchup, etc. could all explore their implementations of CouchDB-style replication. The specification could be pushed further in this space--with implementation details staying in [email protected] (or the other DB's own lists). Documentation/announcements around "A replicates with B" could also get demo'd, explored, and expanded on this list.

In the end, I'd like all of these databases/endpoints make progress *together*. The conversations are mostly happening in Apache CouchDB user@ and/or dev@ and encouraging the use of replication@ should focus attention on it as a topic and give everyone a known place to explore the protocol, show off their implementations, and test it against the various other endpoints.

Thanks for considering this idea!
Benjamin
