title: How to include CouchDB _users DB properties into another DB's view?
body: <p>I am adding more user profile information to the _users DB in CouchDB. This includes things like first name, last name, etc. This works fine and I'm able to store additional profile information.</p>
  
  <p>How do I get that profile information to be linked in (joined) from another DB's view map function? That is, each document has an author or user field which records the user that created the document. How do I get other profile information about the user included in the view created for this DB?</p>
