>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1664
>             Project: CouchDB
>          Issue Type: Task
>          Components: Futon
>            Reporter: Jan Lehnardt

> Fauxton is the the next Futon. Now is a good time to get it’s code base into Apache CouchDB.
> The code currently lives at https://github.com/cloudant-labs/couchdb/commits/fauxton
> Here’s the sub-steps:
>   1. ask the authors/committers to sign an Apache CLA (in progress)
>   2. decide on how to integrate the code base (see below)
>   3. decide if we want to keep calling it Fauxton, or just Futon again.
>   4. fill out IP Clearance documentation (in progress).
>   5. prepare the code base with legal requirements, like ASF headers & NOTICE.
> I’ll volunteer to do champion all of these.
> As for 2. Integration I propose the following:
>  - Ask INFRA for a separate repository couchdb-futon (or couchdb-fauxon as per 3)
>  - in the CouchDB repo, make src/futon or wherever it should live a git-submodule to the new couchdb-futon repo.
>  - Update build-from-checkout/clone instructions to add `git submodule update --init` after `git clone <repo>`
> (I realise that not everyone likes submodules, I don’t exactly care about the integration as long as it is a single command that needs to be run to make things work. No solution is without drawbacks, so unless someone can point to a point that makes submodules *not* work for this, I suggest we avoid this particular bikeshed).
> As for 3: Futon.
> Once all that is in place we can work on integrating building Fauxton on `make dist`. It should be a matter of installing the dependencies and calling one command. For `make test` we should also run Fauxton’s test suite (when it exists). None of that is critical for the import, though.
> Consider this a draft.
