CouchDb

Information about CouchDb and project status

ezsq

really i would be very happy to colaborate but actually i am a blind alpha tester dealing with the try and error phenomena without the couchdb inside features and possible hidden functions

for example:

i dont know the limits/restrictions (maximums and minimums for field length , number of computed tables , fabric optimized use, timeouts, error handling, bulk document posting (3.5secs - 10000 docs - 5 fields pIII myserver), blah blah ,,,etc

so, without base information nothing can be guessed between the things that you have in mind and my wishlist.

by the way , are you the onlyone who is developing the whole project? where couchdb is based ? where is here ?

here i am cheers joseluis makerjoe@gmail.com THE COUCHDB FANATIC

Welcome to the world of technical documentation!

The situation you ae in no different from any other tech writer. The technical writing process:

  1. Ask engineer how the damn thing works.
  2. Deafing silence.
  3. Crickets.
  4. Tumbleweed.
  5. Just start writing something. Anything.
  6. Give this something to the engineer.
  7. Watch engineer become quite upset at how badly you've missed the point of everything.
  8. As the engineer berates you, in between insults he will also throw off nuggets of technical information.
  9. Collect these nuggets, as they are the only reliable technical information you will receive.
  10. Try like hell to weave together this information into something enlightening and technically accurate.
  11. Go to step 6.

Ok, you're not the doc writing type. That's okay, neither am I. However, people are already working to make this better, and I will continue to do so.

Yes, I am the only developer on the project. I am in Charlotte NC, I work from home and am currently self funding development.
