Mikeal's original idea was simply to have a browser and Couch. But I think it's important to illustrate that any application, programming language, etc, can interface with Couch, it's a big part of its appeal. I first tried to find a simpler way to represent the concept of an application "tier"… I searched for photos and illustrations of gears and engines. But I had a hard time finding freely usable images which didn't require attribution, so I gave up and went with the word cloud idea. If we wouldn't mind adding an attribution line to the bottom of the page, we could try using an illustration. Would it be worth trying keeping the names of those various technologies, but organizing them in a neater, simpler, cleaner way? AKA not a word cloud? Anyway, I'd be happy to try any suggestions. Or, if the group doesn't think this is worth pursuing, we can just drop it.
