Okay, I have finished my pass. I have essentially re-written most paragraphs. Hehe. But I think the result is looking pretty solid. Thank you so much to everyone who drafted and edited already. Hopefully you'll like my changes. I moved the bits I cut and put them under the bit marked CUTTING ROOM FLOOR.
I've added an explicit callout to the MongoDB query syntax, that I'd appreciate a look over. Sally, I restructured some of the closing sections. I didn't know if that was okay or not, so I just went for it. :) On 14 November 2014 20:19, Noah Slater <[email protected]> wrote: > Lynnette, > > Are you happy to be added as the press contact for CouchDB?
