Hi there,

What's the API available within the scope of the view code? Do I have
anything else besides the pure JavaScript API? I noticed there is a
"main.js", should I add any utility functions I wish there?

Yes.


Also, can I share some state between "map" calls or pass external parameters
to it besides the default "doc" parameter?

map and reduce functions are meant to run in their own isolated environment. if you need external resources you are possibly doing it wrong[tm]. While it is not implemented this way at the moment, map and reduce are meant to run on a distributed set of machines. You'd have to maintain your state on all the machines
and synchronise it. This is something you don't really want to do.
