Hi all, I‘d like to once again solicit feedback from the core team about my PR for per doc access control.
I know we all have a lot to do, but it’d be great to get some pointers on this, so I can gauge how much work it‘ll be to take over the finish line. If it helps any, I‘d be happy to set up a video call to walk folks through the main parts. I understand that a lot of Cloudant folks are focused on 4.x, but when we last talked, we deemed this feature important enough for 3.x, so I built that first. The experience from building this suggests to me that’s 4.x port should be fairly straightforward, and that that port should even make it easy to add the much desired addition of group sharing. I’m equally happy to take silence as approval, in which case all I ask for is a thumbs up, at which point, I‘ll plow through the remaining todos and get this out asap. Best Jan — > On 3.
