Releases
- CouchDB 2.0 alpha releases for general community testing. See the release testing plan and the discussion that took place over the holidays. Please review the first draft plan and add comments, keeping in mind that for every issue you help find and get fixed, there are thousands, if not tens of thousands of people who won’t run into the same issue, so your help has a significant impact!
CouchDB Weekly Meeting
Major Discussions
CouchDB on DigitalOcean (see thread)
There was a suggestion to add a CouchDB image to DigitalOcean’s platform which includes many project integrations. It’s similar to the discussion on adding an official CouchDB image to Docker.
This is an introduction to a proposed PR creating a patch which would allow people testing out Mango to receive all of the docs and allow them to filter later (instead of creating an index), which could lower the bar to entry with testing/usage.
