Hi Lynnette and Sally, I have hoped, that others answer first to the press release draft and to the question about possible appointments with reporters. As I have stated before, I don't feel ready to give an interview because we do not have consolidated info about what we will answer about CouchDB 2.0. Or I should better say, I am not ready.
Sorry that this sounds a bit like a blocker from my side but I am not willing to give interviews with the fear that there are to many questions I am not able to answer. Thanks so much to both of you for all your efforts. I think we need a bit more time here. All the best Andy On 13 November 2014 22:49, Sally Khudairi <[email protected]> wrote: > Got it.
