I'm very keen to help with making this happen if I can, before I have a go - - is this feature currently being worked on? If so, is further help required? - any tips for where and how to start? (I've read everything I can find via Google) - I am totally new to Erlang - am I likely to be able to contribute anything useful to the project given that I'll have to learn the language as I go? Thanks for all the good work on CouchDB so far - pretty nifty to say the least... If I've posted this to the wrong place - please let me know where it should have gone!
