We've been talking a little in the IRC channel about the plugin system. It doesn't exist yet, so we're trying to figure out what use cases it needs to support. I've started a wiki page to gather ideas, and please also discuss things here. Anything you'd like to do with CouchDB that isn't really part of its core functionality, could be supported in a plugin. Also, some of the core features will be supported by the plugin system as well (as far as I have gathered from the IRC discussions). These include the view servers and the search servers.
The wiki page: http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/PluginAPIUseCases The goal is to have the foundation for plugins ready for the 1.0 release (I think, based on the IRC discussions.) -- Chris Anderson http://jchris.mfdz.com
