This is a brilliant idea. I would love to see a list of questions. Another
topic would be the BigCouch merge. Robert Newson (rnewson) and Russel
Branca (chewbranca) are very much involved here and maybe a double
interview would be cool.

I have some further ideas for possible interview partners and would love to
share the ideas with you. I think the best way is to start a new thread on
marketing@.

In my opinion, doing and releasing interviews would be of very great value
for the project because interested people can "touch" the people behind
Apache CouchDB and it's community.

What do you think?

Thanks a lot!

Cheers

Andy
