### Initial Source

The initial source tree lives at https://github.com/pouchdb/pouchdb


### Source and Intellectual Property Submission Plan

The PouchDB maintainers have yet to decide if they want to migrate the existing
repository to the ASF GitHub organisation or if they want to submit a pristine
copy, but either way, submitting the source code is a few git commands away.

The pouchdb.com domain currently held by Dale Harvey is being transferred
to Neighbourhoodie Software which also holds the couchdb.com/net/org domains
in escrow for the Apache CouchDB project. ASF Member and CouchDB PMC Chair Jan
Lehnardt is a shareholder and chief executive at Neighbourhoodie and they are
trusted to hold and manage those domains in escrow until such time a transition
is needed. The website publishing toolchain can be easily adapted to the ASF-
provided web publishing mechanisms.


#### External Dependencies

PouchDB depends directly on the following other a number of other open source projects. An
automated licensing
scan with manual review has determined that there are
all dependencies are licensed
in accordance with the ASF Third Party
License Policy https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html

#### Cryptography

PouchDB does not directly include cryptography code, but makes use of in-browser
TLS. A PouchDB plugin crypto-pouch exists that does record-level encryption, but
it is currently not part of the PouchDB code base. If md5 hashing is considered
cryptography, PouchDB, like CouchDB, makes use of that, just note that md5
hashing is not used for security relevant operations.

#### Other Resources

PouchDB makes significant use of GitHub Actions for CI. For 2024, we have used
214,556 total minutes across 53,831 job runs. This can be migrated to another
setup if need be but it’d be great if this carefully crafted setup could remain
in place.
