You interested in joining the marketing team and helping out Benjamin? :)
Add yourself to that wiki page! Woop!
Totally missed this email. :-P Which wiki page were you wanting me to
add myself to? :)
I'll start pwning the LinkedIn Groups with CouchDB news. Now that the
marketing@ list is together, I think we've got a good way to route all that.
Onward! :)

Most recent posts are 1 post about Riak and 1 about Couchbase vs 8 about

That's weird. When I go to that page* I see 11 (eleven!) spam posts by
'Tahniyat Kazmi' about topics like "the secrets to engaging readers on
Twitter", "Five texts you should never send", etc. Below that is "I am
offering FREE virtual servers to help kick-start my new cloud company" by
Daniele Testa (not spam, but OT). Then finally there are some actual
relevant posts, but they're months old.
LinkedIn is a job-networking site -- I can see it's useful to have a tag
there for CouchDB so people can register their interest/knowledge, but it's
beyond me why people would want to discuss it there. We already have too
many actually-relevant places to discuss it, like here, SO, the G+ group. A
forum that looks abandoned sends a worse message about the technology than
not having one at all, IMHO.
Agreed on the empty forum thing...
There's also CouchDB Pros by @dch--which he started because the CouchDB one
got quite spammy (as mentioned):
http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=4547164 (64 members)
And NoSQL Document Databases by Nuno Job:
http://www.linkedin.com/groups/NoSQL-Document-Databases-2991253 (294
members)
Likely just showing up in the places where each of us has an interest/voice
and promoting CouchDB as something we use is good/best/awesome.
I do like that @couchdb on Twitter has it's own first person voice and I do
think continuing that in the other venues makes sense--as long as we've got
the interested hands to do the typing. :)
