Dale Harvey commented on COUCHDB-912:
-------------------------------------

It only allows attachments to design docs, but yeh its not a solution I 
particularly like

a flag on the design doc I would much prefer, Its what I mentioned 
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.couchdb.user/10681, forgot who pointed 
me towards implementing it as a config option but I figured I would do it 
quickly just so I could understand the implications.Hinnerk Haardts point out 
that with a flag on the design doc you can have seperate login / business logic 
design docs which would work fine.

is reading the database on every request to a design document ok / anyway to 
cache it nicely?

I dont want this particular patch to go in, I just wanted to post it to mark it 
as a priority because without it private couchapps are very very crippled.

> Right now people need to go through futon in order to login to couchapps 
> running on private databases, this is a pretty big limitation on the type of 
> couchapps that can be built
> Propose adding the ability for users to flag the design docs as readable for 
> anonymous users, could be implemented though an attribute on the design doc?
