+summary: A CouchDB backend for Prosody
+...
+
+***Note:** This module needs updating to the 0.8 storage module API.*
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+This is an experimental Prosody backend for CouchDB.
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+In your config file, under the relevant host, add:
+
+    datastore = "couchdb";
+    couchdb_url = "http://127.0.0.1:5984/database-name";
+
+Compatibility
+=============
+
+This module was developed as a prototype during development of the
+storage provider API in Prosody 0.8. The final storage provider API is
+different, so this module needs updates to work.
+
+Quirks
+======
+
+This implementation is a work in progress.
+
+-   The data stored in couchdb is limited to: account data, rosters,
+    private XML and vCards
