+**TouchDB** is a lightweight [CouchDB][1]-compatible database engine suitable for embedding into mobile or desktop apps. Think of it this way: If CouchDB is MySQL, then TouchDB is SQLite.
 
 By "_CouchDB-compatible_" I mean that it can replicate with CouchDB and [Couchbase Server][3], and that its data model and high-level design are "Couch-like" enough to make it familiar to CouchDB/Couchbase developers. Its API will _not_ be identical and it may not support some CouchDB features (like user accounts) that aren't useful in mobile apps. Its implementation is _not_ based on CouchDB's (it's not even written in Erlang.) It _does_ support replication to and from CouchDB.

+## Development Status ##
+
+Currently [Dec. 2011] pre-alpha, but undergoing full-time development. I hope to have a beta release in early 2012.
+
 ## Building TouchDB ##
 
+For full details see the [wiki page][7]. The gist of it is:
+
  1. Clone the TouchDB repository to your local disk.
  2. In that directory run "`git submodule init`" and then "`git submodule update`". This will clone the [FMDB][5] library (an Objective-C wrapper for sqlite) into vendor/FMDB.
  3. Open the Xcode project and build the "Mac Framework" and/or "iOS Framework" schemes.
- 4. You should now have a "TouchDB.framework" in your build output directory.
 
-### Building The Demo Apps ###
-
-The demo apps use the CouchCocoa framework, which you'll need to check out and build separately:
-
- 1. Clone the [CouchCocoa repository][4] to your local disk.
- 2. Check out the "touchdb" branch.
- 3. Open the Xcode project and build the appropriate scheme ("Mac Framework" and/or "iOS Framework").
- 4. Copy or symlink the built "CouchCocoa.framework" into the "Frameworks" subdirectory of the appropriate TouchDB demo subdirectory.
- 5. Now you can open the TouchDB Xcode project and build and run the demo app(s).
