Jan Lehnardt commented on COUCHDB-348:
--------------------------------------
I agree on the first citizen bit, but there might be a way to make HTML a
prominent second citizen :)
Good bikeshed, I just wanted to explain the idea. I don’t care what the key
name is :)
> / should redirect to a human readable page when accessed from a browser

> As more people are adopting CouchDB, the number of questions along the lines
> of "All I see is {"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"0.10.0a773399"}, what now?"
> If this page redirected to /_utils/ (or maybe something more user-focussed)
> when the accept headers included html, we could make the first-time user
> experience more palatable.
> There's some code in COUCHDB-234 that might be helpful here.
