Probably this is something we can share with other mailing lists too?

>>
>>
>> Content could be split in categories, always shown within the weekly

>>
>>
>> - ARTICLES: these have variable length
>>
>>     - How to backup your CouchDB based website in 30 seconds
>>
>>     - How to use CouchDB as your website versioning tool
>>
>>     - Using CouchDB to identify XSS attacks on your website
>>
>>     - Why using a web, app and db server when you can just use CouchDB?
>>
>>     - AngularJS-CouchDB
>>
>>     - React-CouchDB
>>
>>     - For each other framework/library we could eventually create an
>> article, in order to attract developers using that specific framework
>>
>>     - Differences between MEAN, LAMP, ... and CouchDB
>>
>>     - more ideas? I think creative ways of using CouchDB are great to
>> increase interest!!
>>
>>
>> - COUCHAPPS: couchapps probably need a specific category given the size
>> of the subject
>>
>>      - Pushing your static website to CouchDB
>>
>>      - Rendering dynamic webpages from your database
>>
>>      - Full user management within a single couchapp: authentication,
>> registration, activation, lost-password (at smileupps we already working on
>> this)
>>
>>      - For any couchapp on github or Smileupps, we could eventually
>> create an article to explain how it has taken advantage of CouchDB features
>>
>>      - more ideas?
>>
>>
>> - PILLS: these could be really short articles focused on a single
>> couchdb feature. Here we should fix a maximum length.
>>
>>      - Replication
>>
>>      - Views
>>
>>      - CouchDB log file format
>>
>>      - Couchapps
>>
>>      - Changes handler
>>
>>      - List
>>
>>      - Show
>>
>>      - Update functions
>>
>>      - Rewriting handler
>>
>>     - more?
>>
>>
>> This list could be arranged within the CouchDB wiki directly, so everyone
>> can contribute. Each entry should include:
>>
>>
>> - topic idea/title
>>
>> - contributor: who wants to take this in charge. empty initially
>>
>> - ready date: contributor has to estimate when the content will be ready
>>
>> - publish date: given the "ready date", katharina can then set a date for
>> publishing on newsletter/social networks, to prevent having too much
>> content on a week and nothing for the next week
>>
>>
>> All articles should focus on how easy is CouchDB for that specific

>>
>>
>> Furthermore, I may be a little bit biased saying this, but I

>> Don't you think CouchDB can have great benefits out of it?
