What is the status of couchdb?

From what I read about it I love the concept. Unfortunately though I cannot find any groups oriented around couchdb and wonder if it is still evolving. How are users liking it.

I want to create a series of books and other related products and love the potential non linear flexibility of couchdb which I read about. I am not a programmer though and would love to learn more about how this db is actually being used and what it will take to start using it.

Greetings! I am a former newspaper lackey who is currently tasked with fleshing out the integration of DTP apps in our company (I work for a non-profit telco co-op) with our online presence both externally through our company website and internally on our intranet. Both of these environments are powered by Drupal exclusively.

Hiya, I'm the "technical advisor" for a small student newspaper that's going to switch to Drupal, and I'll share my experiences up 'till now. When I started out the workflow was almost non-existent: articles spread over word-files, e-mails, corrected printouts and more word-files all in one unstructured heap. So under my guidance we switched to a modified version of TextPattern (I created some hacks for managing editions, workflow for the editors, and last but not least automatic XML export tailored for use in InDesign).
