  • lev
• How does it compare to other DBs?
• how does the low level stuff work (LSM Trees, when does it buffer, etc)
• platform support
• queries, general use
• redundancy
• scalability
• distributability

topic ideas:

• how does it compare to mongodb?
• how does it compare to couchdb?
• how does it compare to postgresql?
  (these first 3 are dumb I know but people ask them all the time)
• how does the low level stuff work (LSM Trees, when does it buffer, etc)
• what platforms does it run on?
• what libraries do you use to sync data between a browser and a server?
• what kind of queries can you do with it?
• who is Jeff Dean, anyway?

• maxogden/mbalho would be a good addition cause he's been thinking/working in this sphere for a long time
• rvagg can be on if you want more detail about the lower level stuff, like what's the deal with levelup vs leveldown, what are some of the safety issues around using levelup? best practices and efficiency hints for using levelup.

• chesles or daleharvey are possibles for talking about pouchdb, but perhaps max could talk about that too?

important topics imo: redundancy & scalability (dominic? juliangruber's multilevel?)

4-5 is the maximum viable number of people that work. 5's pushing it.

Maybe @maxogden could MC instead of me and that would get Max in the mix.

We need to get @dominictarr onto a reliable Skype connection to have him on.

:-) Forgot @forestwizard was one of @maxogden's handles.

I listed 4 in case one or two can't make it :)

Final count, this should work:

@dominictarr, @Raynos, @hij1nx with @forestwizard handling MC duty.

@st-luke, maybe put me on the list and I can help fill in any gaps if/where needed; the main talking points can be left to @dominictarr and @hij1nx who are actually using on a larger scale than the rest of us.
