Sorry for using this instead of the mailing list, but is at this moment is just an incidental questions and I don't want to subscribe to another mailing list to just ask a question (I'm planning to use fossil for my development, but not yet). I have being wandering around this project for two months because I think it could be useful as a self contained NoSQL backend for a distributed off-line/on-line web site I'm planning, but I see also that CouchDB 1 is also used in that precise scenario. Most of the time I see the Fossil vs Git comparison that emphasize Fossil as a DVCS, Could you please elaborate about Fossil-SCM vs CouchDB to elaborate about the NoSQL database nature of Fossil, specially in projects where you are working with semistructured data and on/off-line operation.

Thanks

You probably want to read the following documents:

1. http://fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/concepts.wiki
2. http://fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/tech_overview.wiki
3. http://fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/fileformat.wiki

But Fossil is not really a replacement for CouchDB.

Thanks Dimitri. The technical overview was particulary useful in my attempt to understand the possibilities of each one. I need to have a probe of concept to go further in this idea.

Cheers,
