Is Damien Katz still involved or completely moved onto the Membase...Couchio...Couchbase entity now?

I like the layout and high contrast of the new site. My only comment is perhaps a header link to the "Quick Links" at the footer. I tend to want to look at documentation quite a bit and the scroll to the footer was not intuitive.

Damien works full-time on Couchbase technology now. Some of which is still applicable to Apache CouchDB and is and will be contributed back to the project, but he is no longer directly involved. The rest of the team more than makes up for it though :)

Thanks. Reading through the changelog, you all have done some tremendous work.

Appreciated! :)

I would like to thank you and those of the original team who are still being involved for your support of the Apache fork. Many thanks.

When I read Damien's note back in January, I was prepared to never see updates to CouchDB.

Just to clarify, the Couchbase product is a backwards-incompatible fork of Apache CouchDB.

Apache CouchDB remains the original CouchDB.

It is where most of the developers are, and where most of the community is.

The one and only! HUZZAH! ;)
