Interesting. I've been playing around with couchdb again quite a lot
recently, specifically with aim of moving the annotator system (and
commentonit) to use couchdb backend -- i'm also experimenting with
couchapp stuff for commentonit (latest code [1]).

(I also used mongo for the coins db work with where does my money).
