Introduction

Hi,

I'm new to this list and new to couchDB. I'm senior lecturer at the Royal  
Institute of Technology - KTH in Stockholm Seden were I among other things  
give courses in distributed systems and Internet security. Since I have an  
interest in Erlang being used in distributed applications I stumbled on  
couchDB and it got me interested. I hope to be able to contribute in this  
project but it will of course take me some time to get familiar with th  
code and how things are linked together. I saw that authentication is on  
the wish list and this miight be something that I might be able to  
contribute to. Also the replication scheme and fault tollerence is of  
interest as well as parallelisation. I start with using the system to get  
abetter understanding of what is actually privided and how.

btw: I'm an Opera user and something is obviously in conflict there, tried  
Konqueror also without success. I guess tweeking around different browsers  
jscript engines in not a high priority but if u think this is worth  
looking into I could give it a shot - otherwise I'll use FF as everyone  
else.

   Johan

Hi Jan and Johan. I can confirm Safari 3 with Futon has been working  
fine for me on mac. I think its jquery that is used in futon which  
claims broad support for all major browsers. That said, it should  
only be a matter of fixing bugs achieve broader browser compatibility.

Regards,
David

Hi Johan,

welcome to CouchDB :) Security & authentication landed in trunk two  
weeks ago, but we are just compiling a list of things we want to have  
done for the upcoming 0.9 and the alter 1.0 release. Feel free to  
contribute to the discussion and pick something to implement or fix :)  
There's also the bug tracker: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regarding Futon: We only support Firefox 3, but Safari should work,  
too. Patches for other browsers are welcome :)

Cheers
Jan
