Why would you need a view per user? AFAIK you could just use /_design/delic=
iousclone/_view/by_user?key=3D"username" to look up the documents for a spe=
cific user.

Or you could go the one-database-per-user route if you don't want everythin=
g in a single database.

If I did that I guess I'd have to have a different view per each user
because views don't have access to the req object since views are
static - correct? Given that I want a userbase of delicious size
(pre-yahoo divestment issue) it does not seem to be optimal.

Actually what I am doing now is having a view with the document ids
and the user ids, and then(theoretically) having a list function that
should get just the ones specific to a user, loading in the actual
document and returning it...

I say theoretically as typeof req is returning undefined, and I'm not
going to be able to get anything in the query object as long as that
is the case :)

Best Regards,
Bryan Rasmussen
