Ajatus: Distributed CMS using CouchDB
<p>Ajatus is a new distributed CRM that “runs as a local Ajax web application on your own computer. It uses the CouchDb object database for data storage and enjoys a wide range of plug-in and replication possibilities.”The Ajax side of the house uses jQuery for fun and profit.
It is a lot of fun to see people get excited and creative around CouchDb, which recently had the first major release featuring:
- a REST API using JSON instead of XML for data transport,
- a JavaScript view engine based on Mozilla Spidermonkey,
- a GNU Autotools build system supporting most POSIX systems (Noah Slater) ,
- a built-in administration interface (Christopher Lenz),
- experimental fulltext search with Lucene (Jan Lehnardt) and
- countless tweeks, enhancements and other small refinements.

CRM? Then the title of the post is wrong.
Thanks for noting Ajatus! We’re trying to make a first public release still this month…
Will Ajatus work with other JSON/REST databases? Have you tried it with Persevere as the backend database? Persevere and CouchDb have a very similiar REST API.
@kriszyp: Now we’ve written Ajatus in quite CouchDb-specific way. But sure, if somebody is interested in adding support for other RESTful document DBs, go ahead!
@kriszyp: I’ll look in to this at some point. Ajatus can be changed to use other backends quite easily…
