the good thing with a project is that multiple visions could achieve
to make a project. Do you really think that all people designing the

?

We are all working to extend couchdb in a way it can be useful . Of we
were really disagreeing on the way to develop couchdb we could just
leave. Some did.

 need to find the source and it's not a website or comments on the creator'=

Hopefully enough shared vision, so people started to work all
together. And apparently damien's had a different too. I don't think
this is the problem here.
