I've been keeping an email tab open to this thread for a while trying to find time to reply. I'm glad that so many people are using Hovercraft to query CouchDB from Erlang. It's often not the right tool for the job (but when you do need turn Couch into an IMAP server backend or something custom, it's a good start). I'm a firm believer that people who actually use and hack on code, should be the ones maintaining it. I haven't used Hovercraft in anger in almost a year, but that doesn't mean it's not decent code for you to use. I just haven't needed it. So... I propose that anyone who's using Hovercraft, should get in touch with each other (maybe through this thread) and figure out a way to push the project forward, bless a github repo, etc. I'd be happy to help by setting up a Google Group, but I think it'd probably be better if one of you set that up. I'm not throwing my hands up and walking away from the project by any stretch. If circumstances arise that I need Hovercraft, I'll definitely use it. And if anyone has code questions, please corner me on IRC so I can help. But I'm not actively hacking on Hovercraft or using it lately so I think the project will be healthier if people who use it are driving it.
