I am working on the project Nunaliit (http://nunaliit.org). As part of the project, we have developed tools that allow a user to dump an instance of CouchDb to disk, and the tools to reload a database from disk.
The database documents are stored to disk in text files. The document content is formatted in JSON. Attachments are also saved to disk in their native format. This set of tools is written in Java and built using Maven. It features plenty of interfaces to access CouchDb directly in Java. It also features a command line interface to perform dumps and restores. Currently, these tools are within a larger project. I am intending to seperate the dump and restore components, with all dependencies, out of the larger project to make them more accessible to the community. Is there a location or a project where these sorts of tools belong to? If feasible, I'd like to contribute the code where it will serve best. JP
