Hi again, Just a small update... Tobias' message from the talk@ list made me rethink some stuff about the activity server. I also came up with another potential feature - activity stream for given location/bounding box.
I think that all this affects how activities are stored in the server. While CouchDB is a great tool and I'm happy that I decided to play with it and learn this new paradigm, I just can't see that it can fulfill new requirements. There is some support for GIS stuff but it's by no means of production quality and I don't want to go into experimental technologies. I just can't see how CouchDB views and map/reduce functions can be written to support bounding box queries and stuff like that. So I'm thinking about alternative storage options, most likely I will decide on Postgres+PostGIS with a simple schema for activities but of course I'm open to discussing this if anyone is interested.
