Nice resource, kowsik. A suggestion on documenting rereduce would be to describe it in terms of standard SQL operations. Before looking at kowsik's link, I also had only a vague idea of what rereduce was doing. Looking at the link, it appears clear that rereduce can be used to do aggregate SQL operations like SUM() and COUNT(), so it might make sense to include more SQL examples paired with corollary CouchDB rereduce functions, similar to this: http://guide.couchdb.org/draft/cookbook.html#aggregate
In general, I think the CookBook for SQL Jockeys approach will be useful to a number of experienced developers who are moving from SQL to CouchDB. Explain things in terms of technology they're already familiar with, where possible.
