@Aurélien Gâteau: one of the main couchdb dev is working on an erlang interface for couchdb called hovercraft, no need for http and it’s super fast: http://github.com/jchris/hovercraft/tree/master

This one could be used for local install of couchdb.

I don’t think you’ll be able to use CouchDB out of the box to maintain a revision history. See, http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Compaction and https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-36.

Thanks for the post! Very interesting. Man, it was so good to see you at UDS. Hope the time frames between our next real life meeting are not 2 years again! (-:

Would this also be a good use for Midgard2?

I know that there is somebody trying to port tomboy to midgard to do just what you are talking about.

I am interested by CouchDB for a few projects, but I am wondering about the footprint.
From what I understand you need to run a CouchDB server on your machine (no embedded version) and communicate with it via an HTTP interface. This does not sound very lightweight. Have you made any measurement on this?

This seems interesting, but how would it fit in with apps that use sqlite databases? Would they be forced to switch to CouchDB?

..because that’s the only thing Windows and OS X can’t do with such a service, because it requires a package manager and software repositories.
