I’m not trying to. If anyone says they are willing to spend a week or so travelling to Geneva and London and a few more weeks on pre- and post-production for the benefit of CouchDB, I’ll be their biggest supporter. I’m just suggesting that I haven’t seen anyone here (yet) and that with the resources I know about, we can do something very low-key that can get us a looong way. Just having a list of “these big names are using CouchDB” on the website would be terrific, and, while not trivial, be A LOT easier than producing high-quality video. Having “here is what a few of those big names are doing with CouchDB and how they like it / why they chose it” case-studies is the next level up from there and that’s *still* going to be a lot less work etc. I’m just worried we are getting excited about high hanging fruit while starving and ignoring the low-hanging ones. Again, I’ll support anyone who is going all out on kick-ass CouchDB end-user videos. I just also want to make sure we do something with the other resources we have to get something tangible going with less effort and maybe even faster.
