In New England, there's a restaurant chain called Bickford's. Their motto is "Breakfast anytime." Short, simple, to the point. (And now I want some pancakes, darn it!) What about "Data anywhere, any time"? -Joan - Original Message - From: "Noah Slater" To: marketing@couchdb.apache.org S

Okay, so a while ago we had this discussion about what CouchDB's "why" was. i.e. What's our purpose. There are three questions we can answer, at various points in our marketing material: Why? - What's our shared goal? How? - How are we working towards it? What? - What are the particulars of that

I think I read something recently that there's more mobile than web app development happening these days, so "web" might end up sounding outdated. Random input: "Synchronicity" is a word we're using to differentiate couchdb-style dbs from others. Feel free to reuse or take inspiration from that

Will repeat myself on IRC: "A database for the web" isn't good one since PouchDB is eventually more "database for the web" than CouchDB now. We need something more fresh, unique and collision safe as like as "Time to relax!" was - it's hard to associate any other database with the same motto. -- ,

New motto?

2014-10-30 Thread Joan Touzet
Coming out of the logo discussion, it seems 2.0 may be the right time to consider a new motto, replacing "Time to relax." PouchDB is "The database that syncs." On http://couchdb.apache.org/ today, "A database for the web" is the most prominent motto, bigger than "Relax." Jan and I will be on sta

Jan/Lena, could you expand a little on why you don't like the idea of dedicating a release? I'm thinking it would be a small para at the bottom of the release announcement, something like this: "This release is dedicated to the following advocates as a thank you for helping grow the community: Al
