A couple of the recent CouchDB powerpoint presentations illustrate

We have an application that involves replicating data across very
large
numbers of nodes that are intermittently connected - where we'd like
collections of data to replicate and synchronize as connectivity
allows.
Think something like USENET news as an analogy.
Hey Miles,
I don't know if it would fit your needs (I've not used it personally),
but this may be worth looking into:

Thanks,

Lounge is very cool, but it's more suited to distributing very large
datasets over a smallish number of always-connected couches. Miles'
situation is tailor-made for CouchDB's replication model. Best,
Adam
