Thanks for the responses. In the end it's what i feared, there is some open source fork with relatively uncertain future and the new database by the original creator is a totally different beast. Not saying CouchDB is dead but at the point in time i wouldn't feel comfortable recommending it :(

I wouldnt worry, Damien hadnt been particularly active with CouchDB dev for quite a while before CouchBase happened.

CouchDB has a new release pending, a bunch of new features and work in development.

The CouchBase situtation certainly caused a lul in CouchDB activity, mostly due to the confusion over the branding, but it has most definitely gotten through the other side of that.

What's your worry about an open source fork? Apache CouchDB is in solid shape and we at Cloudant are working to merge the BigCouch clustering layer back into Apache CouchDB for the 2.0 release.
