Hi Jenn,
Deepest apologizes for the long delay in my reply.
I'd love to, the only issue is that I don't even know how to do it
myself lol
However since nobody claimed these items, I think I can do them. I was
mainly concerned about not meeting the time frame since I'll need to dig
into the repo, commit messages, discussions etc... for the first time to
get insight. But if I understand correctly, 200-300 words is not like a
"CouchDb: The Definitive Guide" chapter, so it might actually turn out
to be much easier than what I thought.
If that works for you, I can get them done by the 13th of August :)

Thanks Reddy!
I will add these to the list. Were you interested in writing up either
topic?

Hi Jenn,
Just to share two topics ideas for the Migration Guide :
- it would be great to have a guide focused on moving from a single node
CouchDb 1.6.x to a distributed cluster using 2.0 features. As a 1.6.x user,
this is the biggest quotation mark - and excitement I have. I wouldn't feel
any desire to migrate if it wasn't for that.
- Also, it would be very useful if there could be a post focused on
strategies to change the number of nodes safely (adding nodes and/or
removing nodes) while already in production.
These are the two big things I am waiting with CouchDb 2.0 and I thought
it could be very likely that I'm not the only one in this situation, so it
could be interesting to make the information easily accessible :)

Hello there!
We’re getting closer to releasing CouchDB 2.0 and leading up to its
official
release, we want to publish a series of blog posts examining topics like
the
history of the project, differences between the 2.0 and 1.0 architecture,
unpacking the new features, and so forth.
To accomplish this **we need your help**, we need 7-8 CouchDB users to
help
write these posts. Don’t worry, we’re not after Shakespeare here, just
introducing an idea in 200-300 words, to get folks interested in CouchDB
2.0.
I’ll be available to help with editing and coordinating the publication
schedule.
Ideally, we’ll be able to release two posts a week, one on Monday and
Wednesday, with the weekly news still going out on Thursdays, so we’re not
over saturating the blog. Jan Lehnardt has volunteered to kick off the
series
next week, with a post on the The Road to CouchDB 2.0 on Monday.
That means we need a volunteer to write one for next Wednesday, July
27. We’re
still tossing around ideas for giving the 7-8 authors of these posts a
special
kind of CouchDB swag, if that helps. :)
Below is a list of topics (also important: if you have an idea for a
topic you
**don’t see** below, please let us know!):
**The Road to CouchDB 2.0**: (Jan)
\- History of the big Couch fork
\- Cloudant
\- Big Couch merge announcement
\- Davisphack (rnewson on the couch)
\- Windsor merge

\- Cluster setup
\- Tests! Tests! Tests!
\- RC1
**The CouchDB 2.0 Architecture**: (need volunteer)
\- Dynamo
\- BigCouch
\- Cluster/Shards/Consistency
**Release Candidates**: (need volunteer)
\- Please test:
\- Install
\- 1 node
\- 3 node
\- n node
\- App Devs & Library devs:
\- Run your software against each
\- Fix any issues on your side
\- Report any issues to us
**Migration Guide**: (need volunteer)
\- 99% is the same
\- update_seq is opaque string now
\- Changes feed can include duplicates
\- JS apps using /_utils/*.js: copy 1.6 files and put into your apps
\- /_config is not available on the cluster, but there is
/_node/<fqdn>/
_config/ for your setup needs, make sure you do it on all nodes
\- Test suites:
\- If you are creating and deleting databases in quick succession, start
using
unique db names (and add cleanup)
New features posts
\- **Feature: compactor** (need volunteer)
\- faster
\- lower i/o
\- more compact files
\- faster post compaction files
\- **Feature: replicator** (need volunteer)

\- **Feature: Mango query** (need volunteer)
\- Import from Cloudant Query
\- MongoDB-inspired query language
\- Create indexes
\- Query patterns
\- **Miscellaneous improvements and bugfixes** (need volunteer)
\- /_db_updates gets persisted, supports ?since like changes
\- Preview: view based changes
\- Uses rebar under the hood for building, ditched autotools \o/
Also, if you have an idea of someone who would be a good candidate to
write
one of these blog posts, let me know so I can reach out to them.
Please help us get the community excited for the changes coming to
CouchDB. :D
:D :D
Cheers!
