Hi Lena! Welcome! And thanks for resurrecting weekly news idea(: It was before, but with only single issue: http://couchdbweekly.com/ - may be it'll be good idea to ping @dch about to host or mirror the news there (for the great seo!).
> I'll also subscribe to dev@, hoping to get some insights there, too. Btw, user@ sometimes becomes also interesting place, where announces happens. Yesterday there was started yet another thread about CouchDB on Healthcare and there are mentioned few more projects and companies that are used CouchDB for that case. Probably, it could be good idea to ping these guys to let them tell more about their experience with CouchDB: that could be interesting for another post to blog and weekly news (; Also, don't miss our G+ community where we post about some articles and releases: https://plus.google.com/communities/112687873154936256826 Sure, probably all these stuff is available on Twitter (via NoSQL Weekly News for instance), but just for case (; -- ,,,^..^,,, On Mon, Mar 24, 2014 at 10:50 PM, Lena Reinhard <[email protected]> wrote: > Great, thank you! > I'll also subscribe to dev@, hoping to get some insights there, too. > > On 24.03.2014, at 17:18, Noah Slater <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Welcome Lena!
