    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1566?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14090811#comment-14090811 ] 

Robert Kowalski commented on COUCHDB-1566:
------------------------------------------

It is not working on 1.6:

The testsuite just finishes if the jquery.couch.js (half of the tests) tests are commented out, and even in this case where a result is shown, the testsuite has 3 failing tests.

With the jquery.couch.js tests the suite breaks so hard, that no result is shown at all.

With 2.x both of the libs (couch.js & jquery.couch.js) are not part of the core "product" anymore. I might be wrong, but my feeling is that currently no one really feels responsible for maintaining this piece of code. I personally don't want to spend time on it when I could use my time to improve the core system including Fauxton.

My proposal is to search for a maintainer a second time (I would do that, if that's okay for you), and if there is no one after actively searching for 1 month, to delete the code. The reason for this is that even if we do not actively fix and maintain it, there is still a so called total cost of ownership when we keep it and have to support it. And if no one is interested in it after 1 month, there is not any interest in the lib at all.

Even if we do not find another maintainer there are alot of libraries in "userland" which are actively maintained instead: 

 - https://github.com/npm/couch-login (node)
 - http://www.saggingcouch.com/  (browser & node)
 - https://github.com/dscape/nano (node)
 - https://github.com/janmonschke/backbone-couchdb (browser)
