Hello,
I would like to request hosting for a new open source Lisp project. The project is a Common Lisp interface to the CouchDB database (http://couchdb.org).
Though CouchDB is accessed via a simple REST (HTTP) API, I think a certain amount of additional value can be provided by a library of Lisp functions which encapsulate the database API. For example, this project provides a translation of data into and out of CouchDB's wire data representation (Json strings), It is also hoped that this project will provide some degree of isolation from CouchDB API changes.
The current state of the code is functional, but the API will likely change for the following reasons: 1) CouchDB itself is in a pre-alpha, version 0.7-ish, state and not yet feature complete. 2) CouchDB is, for me at least, a new kind of database. I expect my understanding of how it is used to evolve as I become more familiar with it, and I hope to reflect any new insight in the Lisp API, when appropriate.
Project Information -------------------
