Where can I find more information about what they are and how to use them? We're looking for ways to handle server-side processing of input data such as modification timestamps, etc. If that's something the _update handlers can perform, that eliminates at least part of the need to have say a reverse proxy that's capable of massaging the input data sitting in front of CouchDB. Thanks.
