Big thanks to the CouchHack April 2009 Sponsors!
"We are impressed by CouchDB's use of "pure" web technologies, and are considering CouchDB for a future backend for our BlueInk Content Management System."

We run some major infrastructure in our company with CouchDB backends - e.g. the image above (was) served from a CouchDB instance. We are gratefull to the superb CouchDB team and wish them happy hacking!
Work done at the CouchHack
Split main.js out into lots of little file. (And then Jan taught me how Makefile work)
- Adding a batch PUT mode (which delays commit so that we can do a bulk index update)
