I think we should recommend (if so) docs that describes technologies used
by CouchDB. Otherwise it will not lower, but only raise entry barrier and cause
a lot of confusions. For instance, `The Ubiquitous B-Tree` paper is
interesting, but shouldn't we describe CouchDB implementation instead?
Amazonâs HA Key-value Store - hey, I want to learn how CouchDB works, not
some else KV storage I will not use. And so on.
Also all these resources are for database / distributed-systems developers.
Unless we suggest our users to get at the such lower level, I think they would
better learn how HTTP and map/reduce works since these two things are the first
what they'll meet in CouchDB.
