There was some further discussion about this and Ted seemed very willing to work further on it, but I'm not sure that it went anywhere. I'm pretty sure that he did say that it was easy to set up a CouchDB server and that it shouldn't be difficult to exchange CouchDB records with other formats. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ bbdb-info@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bbdb-info BBDB Home Page: http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/
