Both of these are spam, as far as I can tell.
I find it depressing, and quite alarming, the spammers are reading the top of the page, seeing what we want from this part of the wiki, and then hand-crafting plausible explanations for how their spam site uses CouchDB. I wish I knew what to do about this. The only thing I can think of at the moment is to require proper case-studies, or to abandon the page.

Would that documentation be in 'any' VCS, or specifically in
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/couchdb/?
Also, what format would it be in? Any thoughts yet?

till,
The idea is essentially that we move docs into the source tree, which
immediately protects them from spam at the cost of preventing edits
from the public.
These docs would include full API documentation as well as a tutorial
or howto guide.
It's long past time we had this kind of documentation under source
control and not mixed in with the highly variable wiki. The presence
of good documentation in the wiki gives the whole wiki an unwarranted
stamp of approval. I would like to be able to point at definitive
documentation at couchdb.apache.org rather than the wiki, which can
then be freed to *only* include things that the documentation does
not.

HAHA... Nice.
I can't find find the other wiki thread. What's the idea documentation
wise, is there anyone working on something else, or so. I'd like to
either do something, or at least support an ongoing effort.

noah,
I removed this crap by hand. Edit/Save still works, the Revert thing
does not (but, hey, wikis are new, bound to be bugs).
