Hi Johan,

welcome to CouchDB :) Security & authentication landed in trunk two =20
weeks ago, but we are just compiling a list of things we want to have =20=

done for the upcoming 0.9 and the alter 1.0 release. Feel free to =20
contribute to the discussion and pick something to implement or fix :) =20=

There's also the bug tracker: =
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regarding Futon: We only support Firefox 3, but Safari should work, =20
too. Patches for other browsers are welcome :)

Cheers
Jan
