hmm, I've got a branch to do automatic Mono bindings (via mono-gapi)
from couchdb-glib. It's still not finished, but once done, it should
generate the bindings automatically

Rodrigo, 

Dammed, we should talk more ofter :P. Currently I had to "fully" provide a way to access couchdb through C# by using Divan as my code base and clean it up and modify it accordingly to match the code style and use I wanted for desktopcouchsharp. This is an extra effort that I really did not like to do. 

The best option would be to use the glib back end and using Json.Net to provide the serialization of the objects to make the lib more c#, the rest would be simple glue.

Lets talk about it at UDS, shall we?

Kr,

Manuel

Uh, another thing I forgot, I wanted to use the glib code from vala. I have used the tool to auto generate the binding (quite easy by the way). Could we have a pacakage for that done?? Maiking everyone going through the step of creating the bindings looks like waste of time, doesn't it?

We should jot this down in the wiki at some point.

again, Adi Roiban (adiroiban on IRC) has been working on this vala
bindings. Not sure what the progress is, so come to IRC today when
possible and we'll talk with Adi.

Ok... dammed, I'd love to be on IRC more ofter but I'm blocked by the office proxy.... major pain in the ass, I'll try to be there around 4pm ~ 5pm

[Manuel de la Peña]

I just took some time to check, indeed adiroiban has an lp branch with the bindings (lp:~adiroiban/couchdb-glib/vala-bindings), glib bindings are very easy to generate using instrospection so I'm sure they  are refectly alright, I'll use them a little this afternoon.

Kr,

Manuel
