a thought for weekly news
I keep having this idea which might not be appropriate for the news, but kinda like it deserves a theme about Relaxing, not just couchdb but in general.
This might mean including a link about relaxing on holiday, practicing mindfulness or meditation, making your/other peoples lives easier, whatever comes to mind.
How do people feel about that?

Hi,
I also support this idea, although I think its important to stay away from band wagons like mindfullness
Just “Relax” used in a wide variety of settings will keep the meaning of this one-word slogan building.
I also like Dave’s “sent from by couch”
I have followed the discussion on finding a new slogan and I think that is not a good ideas.
Right now Couchdb is lacking a communication strategy and the efforts are very much on the mechanicals of getting a blog up and running etc.
Trying to coin a new slogan without even defining the target group is not easy.
The visual and the name is a very good foundation
A free word play on “couch” and “relax” would be a much more up-to-date way of building the brand than coining slogans and adding new elements

+1 great idea. I think it will add more personality to the couchdb blog.
Plus it fits perfectly with the tagline.

Yeah, great idea!
Also, having a dedicated "Time to relax!"-section with just a small
number of links makes it easy for people to skip/ignore that section if
they're not interested.

Great point, I like this idea, getting something related to the slogan in there sounds good. If it's approved, we could include a "Time to relax!"-section before the "and also in the news". Would limit this to two links for the start.
