For > example: > 1. What is CouchDB? > 2. How to install it? > 3. How to configure it? > 4. How to administrate it? [1] > 4.1 Setup users > 4.2 Security features > 4.x etc. > 5. How to manage it?

Replications > 7.x what it is, how it works, how to use it etc. > 8. More about couchapps [2] > 8.x what it is, how it works, how to use it etc. > 9. Extending CouchDB > 10.

Some glossary of common terms to easily understand by new users > 14. Release notes and changes history to track features. > and so on. For sure, some points need to be more detail like > Replication: there are two ways to start data replication; conflicts and > their solution; common practises for them and so forth. > As the inspiration source the PostgreSQL docs was used: > http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/index.html > [1]: I believe, that better to guide users to use Futon for the first steps > instead of fighting with curl on CLI. > [2]: Should docs promote tools like erica, kanso and other popular ones that > are still been recommended on mailing lists/IRC? Question may also stands as > "how much batteries to include?". > [3]: GeoCouch, Lucene, OX_Auth, etc. and how to write your own. Same question > about promotion of third party tools. On one hand they are third party, but > on other they are not so much to stay aside and raising initial interest to > them may provoke to create more of them. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
