Agreed on the empty forum thing...
There's also CouchDB Pros by @dch--which he started because the CouchDB
one got quite spammy (as mentioned):
http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=4547164 (64 members)
And NoSQL Document Databases by Nuno Job:
http://www.linkedin.com/groups/NoSQL-Document-Databases-2991253 (294
members)
Likely just showing up in the places where each of us has an
interest/voice and promoting CouchDB as something we use is
good/best/awesome.
I do like that @couchdb on Twitter has it's own first person voice and I
do think continuing that in the other venues makes sense--as long as
we've got the interested hands to do the typing. :)

Totally missed this email. :-P Which wiki page were you wanting me to
add myself to? :)
I'll start pwning the LinkedIn Groups with CouchDB news. Now that the
marketing@ list is together, I think we've got a good way to route all that.
Onward! :)
