CouchDb, big changes coming
Jan and I have been doing a bunch of work converting CouchDb over to use JSON instead of XML and Javascript instead of a custom query language. Right now it's barely working but I already see huge payoffs in simplicity and ease of use. It's getting simpler under the covers as well.
I'll be writing about the changes soon. In the meantime you can go to Jan's talk at FrOSCon this sunday where he will be talking about CouchDb and the upcoming changes.

Damien that's great news. I was worried the project had gone to sleep. I am really looking forward to being able to use a json interface.

Clever viewers will note that the wiki already reflects this change, even if the source tarballs don't yet :)

You can get the goodness from SVN:
svn checkout http://couchdb.googlecode.com/svn/branches/json couchdb-json
As for the wiki, the information is not yet complete, but it should already give you a good idea.
Cheers
Jan

I'm trying to build CouchDB on Ubuntu, and looking for pointers. Any help I can get, I would appreciate, and will feed back into the wiki.
