I’d like to see our docs expanded to not just describing CouchDB the software, but the whole project, including how everything works, how CouchDB works internally, the whole shebang. Kinda like FreeBSD has everything in top-level books, just that we don’t need to split this up yet, and can get away with different sections of the same “document”. > - cwiki is the place for community driven documentation.

The repo should definitely include a bare minimum of project description, but I wouldn’t mind seeing this on docs.couchdb.org as well. Bastian, if it is easier, start out on couchdb-ci and then we can move it to docs.c.o later. Best Jan -- > > Sounds good? > > -- > ,,,^..^,,,
