Hi Francesco, welcome! My perception is that the CouchDB development community is as strong as it’s been at any point in the past several years. The Weekly News (http://blog.couchdb.org/) can give you a feel for all of the things that are going on these days. I’d also emphasize:
* We’ve grown the committer base to 40+, many of whom are active on a daily basis * Neighbourhoodie Software offers professional support: http://neighbourhood.ie/couchdb-support/ * IBM provides a compatible cloud service and on-premises enterprise software: https://cloudant.com/ * Smileupps is building out a hosting and marketplace business: https://www.smileupps.com/ As far as 2.0 is concerned, I know it’s been a long time coming. I can tell you the folks on my team are treating it as a high priority. It’s actively being worked and we discuss the status in the weekly CouchDB IRC meetings. Happy to get into more of the specifics with you here. IBM is committed to CouchDB as a core technology for our suite of data services in the cloud, so you’ll see us continue to invest and work with the rest of the community across the board to help evolve the technology and grow the community.
