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. :)

>>>>“The beta release of CouchDB 2.0 delivers on our vision of making Apache

>>>>to and from users, across data centers, and between mobile devices and

>>>>development of a new Web dashboard called Fauxton, with streamlined admin 
>>>>tools, rich code editors, and a UI for managing database replication. The 
>>>>beta release of CouchDB 2.0 containing these features is available now at

>>>>At ApacheCon Europe, the CouchDB community also announced plans for

>>>>system, code for which currently resides in an open source repository. The 
>>>>community also announced its intention to evaluate soon-to-be-open-sourced 
>>>>code that would advance CouchDB indexing capabilities. These potential new 
>>>>features would add integrated full-text indexing for search based on Apache 
>>>>Lucene™, extend CouchDB view indexing to clustered environments, and 
>>>>automatically compact indexes with improved logic.

>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>>CouchDB is a database that completely embraces the Web and works well with 
>>>>modern Web and mobile applications. Store database records as JSON 
>>>>documents. Access documents and query indexes via HTTP. Index, combine, and 
>>>>transform JSON documents with JavaScript. Distribute data efficiently using 
>>>>CouchDB’s incremental replication and synchronization technology. CouchDB 
>>>>supports master-master setups (a.k.a. “masterless replica architectures”) 
>>>>with automatic conflict detection. CouchDB works well with modern Web and 
>>>>mobile applications. It is not a relational database. For more on CouchDB, 
>>>>join our mailing lists via http://couchdb.apache.org/, contribute code at 
>>>>https://github.com/apache/couchdb, or bring your questions to IRC in the 
>>>>#couchdb channel on freenode.
