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.
I'm trying to sort out whether or not CouchDB is a potential platform.
Thanks very much,

Hi Miles, we certainly tried to design for that use case. Best,
Ok.... but that begs a few follow-up questions:
1. Has anybody tried it? (And documented it?)
2. It seems like there's a point at which explicit 1-1 replication
starts to be an administrative nightmare. Some kind of
publish-subscribe or multi-cast update model seems needed.
