That's weird. When I go to that page* I see 11 (eleven!) spam posts by 'Tahniyat Kazmi' about topics like
"the secrets to engaging readers on Twitter", "Five texts you should never send", etc.
Below that is "I am offering FREE virtual servers to help kick-start my new cloud company" by
Daniele Testa (not spam, but OT). Then finally there are some actual relevant posts, but they're months old.
LinkedIn is a job-networking site — I can see it's useful to have a tag there
for CouchDB so people can register their interest/knowledge, but it's beyond me
why people would want to discuss it there. We already have too many
actually-relevant places to discuss it, like here, SO, the G+ group. A forum
that looks abandoned sends a worse message about the technology than not having
one at all, IMHO.
Agreed on the empty forum thing...
There's also CouchDB Pros by @dch--which he started because the CouchDB
one got quite spammy (as mentioned):
http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=4547164 (64 members)
And NoSQL Document Databases by Nuno Job:
http://www.linkedin.com/groups/NoSQL-Document-Databases-2991253 (294
members)
Likely just showing up in the places where each of us has an
interest/voice and promoting CouchDB as something we use is
good/best/awesome.
I do like that @couchdb on Twitter has it's own first person voice and I
do think continuing that in the other venues makes sense--as long as
we've got the interested hands to do the typing. :)
