Glad to hear that :-) Didn't he mean that users of CouchDB are mostly

Dunno. I think it's a bit odd to suggest that CouchDB could ever be for
non-developers.
There's a lot of activity at the moment, from various sides, to make
CouchDB ubiquitous. UbuntuOne is a good example. But in the case where a
user is using CouchDB because it is used for some application they have,
that does not mean that they should care that it uses CouchDB. SQLite is
used by Mail.app, but that doesn't mean that Mail.app users care about
SQLite. CouchDB is a tool in your toolchain so that you can build user
applications. CouchDB itself is not a user application. Again, if
someone built a non-JSON GUI for CouchDB, then that would be a user
application - but the CouchDB core is still just a tool. Maybe I'm
talking shit. I'm sure I will be corrected if I am.
What about the equivalent to people who just know enough of programming
and logic to be able to write SQL queries?
Shouldn't those people have the chance to at least try their luck with
couchdb map and reduce functions?
If that is the case, a separate forum might be worthwhile.
