Easy now. CouchDB and the community is balancing making a make-your-
own-cloud high performance multi-node database and a single-node-
standalone-application database. There are forces that pull in one
and others that pull in the, well, other direction. I think this is
good.
My point isn't about this or any other specific technical issue.
This project seems to be administered in accordance with Damien's
unexplained and undiscussed plan. That would be fine, except that
this is an Apache project. I'm looking for a discussion of the plan,
of the goals, of the future architecture, rather than merely being
allowed to discuss some technical details as CouchDB is built
according to some private vision.
He made a comment on IRC (wich we all acknowledge is *NOT* an official
channel for the transparent development of CouchDB (only for day-to-
day issues for us and users). He didn't make any decision. He said we
*might* change something. There has been no discussion on any ML, by
ASF statues, this means there is no decision. Is it me, or are you
being dense? (No offence).
It is good that we get controlled by the community, and appreciate
your input Antony, but I think you are taking this a bit out of
proportion.
See Chris changing the name of _temp_views because he though we agreed
on that months ago. No discussion and actually changes int trunk. Now:
A comment on IRC.
