What is the schedule aimed for by the CouchDB book?

[David Goodenough <da...@linkchoose.co.uk>]

I realise that in the open source world we are not running to a product
cycle, but is there some idea of a rough plan?  I am trying to understand
CouchDB and am really encouraged by what I can read already, but there
are some bits which look really interesting in the bits not available yet.

Also are there any other Open Source projects building upon CouchDB
yet?  I know there a CRM system, but that is the only one I have come
across so far.

BTW, I come from a Notes/Domino background, has anyone written a
conversion guide for people moving from one to the other?

It does have a proper product cycle and the plan is to get the book out
"later this year" :)

See http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/CouchDB_in_the_wild for projects
around CouchDB.

Not that I know of, but if you'd like to get a conversation started  
about
that, there are some Notes guys lurking here.
