Hi Lynnette, thanks a lot for writing this an your efforts. That's really awesome! And ... warm welcome to the CouchDB community.
As I have written before - I have not seen this before. Unfortunately I have an important appointment starting in the next 10 minutes. So as there is my name also in the email, I would really like to ask you to wait some hours till I am back. I do have some questions ... Again - this is awesome and I really don't want to block it. Till later Cheers Andy On 12 November 2014 17:52, Lynnette Nolan <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Andy, > > Sorry for any confusion!
