Hi everyone,

On marketing@ list we started a discussion which led to a proposal for a
ddoc ui, in order to free early adopters to install and configure some
couchapp deployment tool suitable for his own environment.

@ermouth proposed to put his json-editor directly into a couchapp or better
directly inside futon or fauxton. http://cloudwall.me/etc/json-editor.html

What do you think about it?

IMHO ermouth tool goes in the "simplicity always win" direction. It allows
to create/modify a json(and so a ddoc) with intuitive ui and has support
for attachments too, which should be all the pieces needed to create any
kind of ddoc. I'm worried that maybe creating an alternative, even if
easier-to-use editor for beginners, could limit flexibility for skilled
devs. Explaining its use to app devs, would then only be a matter of
creating concrete examples/tutorials, targeting different skill levels,
explaining how and which ddoc fields to fill in for different type of
couchapps.

@ermouth: Which limitations you think your editor could have for ddoc
creation?

It's also true that I'm still idle to fauxton 1.6.1 version, I don't know
what has changed since then. To be aware of it, is there a running online
demo of the latest fauxton version?


Best regards,
