## Description:
 - Seamless multi-master sync, that scales from Big Data to Mobile,
   with an Intuitive HTTP/JSON API and designed for Reliability.

## Issues:
 - there are no issues requiring board attention at this time

## Activity:
 - Released version 2.1.0, details on the blog:
   https://blog.couchdb.org/2017/08/07/2-1/ (tl;dr: a major new feature
   for users at scale, tons of post 2.0.0 bugfixes, and:
 - Massively overhauled	test suites, jenkins setup, worked with	Infra =
around
   lots	of little and gnarly issues; all this resulting	in being able to
   make	more reliable release in quicker succession from now on. We =
haven=E2=80=99t
   settled on anything yet, but	are discussing a release per quarter =
plus
   security ad bugfix releases as needed. Special shout	out for	PMC =
member
   Joan	=E2=80=9Cwohali=E2=80=9D Touzet, for primarily driving this =
effort to success.
 - Currently awaiting Facebook=E2=80=99s decision on licensing their =
React & adjunct
   JavaScript frameworks, which	are in use in our admin	UI Fauxton:
   https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/10191 =E2=80=94 We have =
discussed
   alternatives, but made no contingency plans just yet.

## Health report:
 - The project is doing fine overall. We=E2=80=99ll be doing a dedicated =
drive for
   JavaScript contributors for our admin UI after the licensing =
discussion
   is over, and we have more certainty about future direction. Current
   contributors are moving towards other areas of the projects, and =
it=E2=80=99s
   a great place for people to get into the project without having to
   learn Erlang.
