Hi everyone, As a last item before I go on holiday break for 2 weeks, I wanted to announce the final deprecation of the old CouchDB wiki at https://wiki.apache.org/couchdb as of today.
For many years, the CouchDB wiki had great advice on it for a number of under-documented things, such as making and using CouchDB views, the view collation feature, how to build CouchDB from source on a variety of operating systems, and my favourite, notes from the original CouchHack and CouchCamps in 2009 and 2010. Unfortunately, most of this content hadn't been updated since 2011, and in an increasingly large number of cases, was outdated or factually incorrect. Thanks to the hard work of Jonathan Hall (@flimzy) and myself, all of the content in the wiki that was actually documentation for CouchDB has been integrated with the official documentation. As an extra gift, we now have a new table of contents for the documentation, which will premier with the next CouchDB release. You can preview it here: https://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/ (thanks Jan for fixing https access!) The official docs now have a new "Best Practices" section, to which we encourage you to contribute. Anything that was of historical note, project management related, or a list of client libraries, is on our new Confluence wiki at: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COUCHDB We're going to keep the new wiki compact like this, without how-tos or walkthroughs. This is both because the workflow for maintaining the official documentation is better, and because the official docs must pass through a peer review process before being updated. Happy Holidays, Joan "my hands hurt" Touzet
