Think we need to pay someone to do this. It's too much for a volunteer

It is a gargantuan task which is why I'd hoped it could be a community
effort. :) It should still be regardless of someone being hired to click
the links, etc.
Cloudant, fwiw, already has developer advocates, etc on payroll who's
job it is to do "this sort of thing" (I'm one of them, fwiw). Some of my
cycles already go to finding (or writing) interesting bits about
Cloudant and Apache CouchDB bringing peoples attention to them.
I'll start relaying interesting finds to this list, and anyone who wants
(payed or otherwise) can hopefully help with (re)promotion.
If nothing else, we'll keep this list stocked with interesting content
about CouchDB. :)

Aye. We really need to get this next release out.
But to get back to the topic: what we really need is someone who can
collect weekly news and do a regular blog post with a link round-up
that points people to all the stuff going on in the world of CouchDB.
Sort of like how the Hoodie project do it.
I'd love to see this happen--and had plans to do it for years/months past
both on my own and at Cloudant. Time's come, I guess. :)
To that end, what if we simply begin sharing CouchDB ecosystem related links
on this marketing@ list and each do what we can to promote them (retweet,
reblog, sum up in a weekly post on our personal/company blogs, etc).
I'd love to see the PMC aggregate these into a weekly/bi-weekly or even
monthly "CouchDB Land Links" (or whatever).
The more of us linking (and posting, etc) these things, the greater chance
it has to raise the volume for CouchDB.
Sound like a plan?

Hi all,
I just came across this article:
http://nosql.mypopescu.com/post/77055582692/storage-technologies-at-hipchat-couchdb
Footnote number two hurts a little "This is only the 2nd time in quite a
while I'm reading an article mentioning CouchDB..."
We should figure out a way to make the things that are happening around
CouchDB a bit more public :)
Best
Jan
