CouchDB Future Feature List - Round 2
A list of features that we want to see in CouchDB. Needs to be voted on so that it can become a priority queue.
User Facing Features
====================
1. Conflicts are the rule, not the exception
All previous versions of CouchDB hide conflicts by default (selecting
an arbitrary but consistent winning revision). Expert users can find
and resolve conflicts.

Hi, all.

Encouraged by my successful experiment with a Node.js view server, I am now working on a branch, nodejs_couchdb, with the following properties:

  • Remove couchjs from the project
  • Remove dependency on SpiderMonkey, libjs, 1.8.whatever...all that is gone
  • Remove dependency on libcurl
  • (Thus, simplified autoconf version dependency Hell)

Phase 1: Dependency on a "couchjs" executable which you install via npm install couchjs
