Tool for writing design documents

Hi there,

Brand new to CouchDB, just giving it a whirl.  I'm curious what people seem
to use when writing design documents?  I tried to make it work with futon,
but it seems to be a no-go, unless I'm missing something?  Are most people
just editing in their favorite text editor and then using a quick import
script they've whipped up?

Thanks,

Justin

You can also check out DataMapper's CouchDB adaptor's auto_migrate  
functionality which "migrates" your views into proper CouchDB design  
documents.

Here's a paste of mine from a while back, doing something else but it  
demonstrates the functionality in action:

You might want to check out Chris Anderson's scripts in couchrest [1].
Specifically the couchview script [2].

I typically add and update design docs via Futon, but I do my editing
in TextMate and then c+p.
