No. While you could build a CMS with couchdb, it definitely isn't one out of the box.

All "document-oriented" means in the Couch context is that the db's data model is "you have a key and a collection of attributes associated with it."




You're confusing "Notes Domino" with "a CMS" which it is not. From your link:

> CouchDB shares a basic concept of a document oriented database with views that Notes Domino has.

> In this model "documents" are just arbitrary collections of values that are stored some how. In CouchDB the documents are JSON objects of arbitrary complexity. In Notes the values are simple name value pairs, where the values can be strings, numbers, dates or arrays of those.


I didn't say it was a CMS: "Its closer to a CMS than a DB."
