+1 yes please. I love the couchdb ecosystem, but binary releases have been a sore spot. There has been a lot of chatter lately about the fragmented state of couchdb, which I think could be quelled with some visible, easy to install binaries for the major platforms.
I know this is the apache dev list and there is probably many interests subscribed here. But if we compare our apples to say the oranges found here: http://www.mongodb.org/downloads , It is really hard for a new person to know where to begin with couch. >1. This first iteration are links from couchdb.apache.org that are clearly > marked as "unofficial 3rd party binary downloads" that are not hosted on > ASF infrastructure. If we start with a "unofficial 3rd party binary downloads" as a grid, we will be off to a good start. Thanks Jan for starting this discussion.
