Although CouchCMS is quite simple to get started, it is also quite flexible and powerful - and even more so now, that a membership/user registration module has apparently been added to future versions. It would be extremely helpful, if more tutorials were added that would show, step-by-step, and in a contextualised way, how to implement some of the intermediate/advanced features of Couch. I would suggest:
1) Add an 'intermediate' tutorial, that expands on the existing 'Blog' tutorial, by adding TAGS to the blog posts (using a many-to-many relationship between the posts and the tags). It would be extremely useful to show users also how to make a search page that would use the tags to select appropriately tagged posts. Taxonomies are an important and required part of many types of content, and used in a wide variety of sites - from product catalogues to technical support.
2) Add an 'intermediate' tutorial, showing how to setup a membership site - with different levels of membership. Show how to add custom content fields - such as 'membership expiry date' - and then how to setup searches using this custom content.
3) Add an 'advanced' tutorial, showing how to setup a basic FORUM - that is, a site where registered members can create and participate in discussions.
I would also suggest that the Documentation should have a 'Cookbook' section, containing 'recipes' for setting up different types of solutions using CouchCMS, that advanced users could follow and quickly customise - rather than having to reinvent the wheel.
