Welcome to
Apache CouchDB Project Wiki.
Apache CouchDB is a distributed, fault-tolerant and schema-free document-oriented database accessible via a RESTful HTTP/JSON API. Among other features, it provides robust, incremental replication with bi-directional conflict detection and resolution, and is queryable and indexable using a table-oriented view engine with JavaScript acting as the default view definition language.

Community
Mailing lists - The place for CouchDB community support and where the developers discuss and make decisions about the future of CouchDB. #couchdb - CouchDB IRC channel on freenode for community support and friendly chat. Note: IRC discussions tend to exclude large parts of the community. Therefore CouchDB core technical discussions and decisions must take place on the mailing lists, not IRC. They don't count otherwise.
