I talked to Will Beh and while he seemed interested, he said he is  
short on time. I suggest starting without him. He can get back on  
board at any time anyway. Or am I mistaken here? As far as I know, the  
CouchDB source currently does not include any contribution by him  
anyway. Dirk Schalge, a friend of mine says, via instant message, that  
we should remove him from the list of initial contributers. His  
contributions have been moved out of the CouchDB repository quite a  
while ago.

Cheers,
Jan
