I don't think its worth the effort to integrate the Postgres DB that backs Trac, but we can at least try to make MPWA, Portmill, and the website share some common data. That of course means the other apps could be ported to CouchDB if thats a better tool overall.I think this ultimately needs to be left to the discretion of whomever's doing the work. I mean, it's all well and good to say "this should really use MYSQL instead!" but unless the person saying this is also turning up to the discussion with a pile of patches which Make It So, it can only come across as carping from the back seat.
I'm not saying they should all use MySQL, I'm saying they should all use the same backend. My primary reason is I believe it is better engineering. But secondarily, I'm the one who has to manage yet- another-database-server if we add CouchDB to the mix. So I'm not just sitting in the backseat.
