I'm hoping to use couchdb (and possibly couchapp) to manage some experiment=
al statistics. I'm having trouble finding more advanced examples to get me =
going - much of the documentation is at the "hello world" level.

I would like to store one document per experiment. For simplicity, at the m=
oment each experiment has only a few values associated with it:

{
   "header1": 3,
   "header2": 7,
   "header3": "hello!"
}

Let's say I have three documents like this. Some might be missing some head=
ings.

What I want to do is render an HTML table with headings "header{1,2,3}" and=
 a row per experiment. I might also like to compute a mean at the bottom, w=
here the values are numeric. This seems to me a fairly standard use case, b=
ut I can't find any code samples online. Can anybody point me at some?

Thanks,

Peter
