Thanks Jim and Ryan,

kanso seems quite interesting indeed :)

I have started a small project based on it, but unfortunately I haven't 
been able to solve my problem.

I was wondering if the folks on the list could have a look at it? I 
really can't spot the problem...

The project is available here:

https://github.com/aleray/lgru.couch

Visiting the following URL will log variable `_`, which is undefined in 
my case...

http://127.0.0.1:5984/mydb/_design/lgru/_list/publications/publications

Thanks a lot,

Alex
