CouchApp is a set of scripts designed to bring clarity and order to the freedom of CouchDB’s document-based approach.
To whom it may concern (or really whoever may care 😉), we’re in the process of collecting the bits of CouchApp and couchapp.py related documentation and putting them into the `doc` folder of the couchapp.py repo at https://github.com/couchapp/couchapp
Sources of docs to migration are:
– this wiki
– [archive.org’s copy of couchapp.org](http://web.archive.org/web/20140207233840/http://couchapp.org/page/index)
– other places on the Web
Goal is to get a fork-able, downloadable, less-destructible copy of CouchApp information into the world somewhere. Once couchapp.org is back in operation (under Apache CouchDB oversight), these docs will head there for a permanent home.
If you’d like to help, toss documentation, tutorials, etc. into the `doc` folder of the `couchapp` repo.
The Python `couchapp` tool created a pattern for mapping filesystem contents to a Design Document. Many other tools (erica, kan.so, grunt-couch) have followed suite. So far, it’s the closest thing to a “spec” for what a CouchApp looks like in a repo.
Other formats exist, but are generally language specific. Finding, documenting, and implementing common patterns like the Filesystem Mapping, will help us grow as a community.
