Hi everyone, In version 1.4, the feature that excites me the most is the plugin system. I see it as a way to foster innovation on CouchDB, letting people test unstable features, without having to weaken the core of CouchDB.
However, I haven't found much on the Web about what can be done exactly as a plugin, and how difficult it is to turn a "feature hidden in some developer’s git repository" into a plugin. As an example of a long forgotten (yet needed) feature, let's take the LDAP authentication handler (https://github.com/chao/couchdb/commits/ldap_auth). Could it be turned into a plugin? Would it be easy? Regards, Aurélien
