Users' Wish-list
Hi everyone,
Following the excellent initiative by couch devs with the recent
feature-survey [1] [2], I figured it would be worth while to have a
permanent wish-list for just user-facing features; a place for users to put
their own ideas and feature-requests, and to vote on others'.
Such a wish-list serves two obvious purposes:
1. helping users raise awareness for their needs. I don't find JIRA
accessible or visible enough for this purpose. This would result in:
2. helping developers (and would-be developers) keep tabs on what features
the community is really missing, and which it isn't
I started a wish-list here: http://couchdbwishlist.userecho.com/. I seeded
it from Bob Newson's compilation of potential features [3], and I really
hope to see things added and voted on, and to get the ball rolling.
For those interested, some of the reasons I went with userecho:
- simple voting scheme (albeit not as informative as allourideas's)
- relatively rich text editor
- comments
- clean interface
- free (albeit as in beer)
I would more than welcome any ideas or suggestions.
Relax on,
Alon

I'm doing that, but extra js runs on my server and on the db. It is messy.

the "partial update" feature would have the same semantics as a
document updated mediated by an update handler anyway, though more
efficient (no need to call javascript when the transformation function
is defined).

Simple. Just do an `extend` on a doc instead of replacing it.

Compared to the other two, lack of "partial updates" can be easy to
work-around using update handlers. Still, it's a workaround.

Re: Users' Wish-list

I've decided that it would make sense if the wishlist focused not just on
CouchDB proper, but also on the ecosystem of tools (and plugins?) around it.
After all, some desired features may appear faster outside of couch proper
(like full-text search in couchdb-lucene), and other stuff may never be
exactly right to be included out of the box (like document versioning).
Thoughts and feedback welcome,
Alon

Users' Wish-list
Posted by Alon Keren <al...@gmail.com>.
Looks like @dev ate my message from yesterday. Trying again (this was also
sent to @users):
Hi everyone,
Following the excellent initiative by couch devs with the recent
feature-survey [1] [2], I figured it would be worth while to have a
permanent wish-list for just user-facing features; a place for users to put
their own ideas and feature-requests, and to vote on others'.
Such a wish-list serves two obvious purposes:
1. helping users raise awareness for their needs. I don't find JIRA
accessible or visible enough for this purpose. This would result in:
2. helping developers (and would-be developers) keep tabs on what features
the community is really missing, and which it isn't
I started a wish-list here: http://couchdbwishlist.userecho.com/. I seeded
it from Bob Newson's compilation of potential features [3], and I really
hope to see things added and voted on, and to get the ball rolling.
For those interested, some of the reasons I went with userecho:
- simple voting scheme (albeit not as informative as allourideas's)
- relatively rich text editor
- comments
- clean interface
- free (albeit as in beer)

Great! I've made a couple of comments.
I think it's important not only to explain what a requested feature is, but
also to detail what pain-point(s) it would address.

Anyone can vote on and add to the wish-list, so please go ahead and add

Hi Alon,
I'd like to add some wishes too.
1. Turn Futon into a CouchApp
2. Add Futon extension interface for ex. Let people write a CouchApp or
some script to enhance Futon features.
3. _change feed for queries (The listening range would across multiple
machines)
Thanks.

Hi,
First of all, feel free to add to the list first, and ask questions later :)
I seeded it with the subset of Bob's list that I both understood and found
to be well-defined.
Documentation and richer querying seemes to be a bit broad. I personally
think that they should either be entered with enough explanation, or be
split to smaller components.

Hello Alon,
Thank you for this initiative.
I'm missing a lot from Bobs list like "documentation" and "richer querying".
Did the seeding go wrong or am I missing somehting?

Re: Users' Wish-list
Posted by Alon Keren <al...@gmail.com>.
I've decided that it would make sense if the wishlist focused not just on
CouchDB proper, but also on the ecosystem of tools (and plugins?) around it.
After all, some desired features may appear faster outside of couch proper
(like full-text search in couchdb-lucene), and other stuff may never be
exactly right to be included out of the box (like document versioning).
Thoughts and feedback welcome,
Alon
