These are all fantastic advise for any open source project. A couple of days ago, I was arguing that for NoSQL projects in particular there is an additional required step: making sure that it is easy to be used from major frameworks and that this integration is "as seamless as possible" (you can read the whole thing here http://nosql.mypopescu.com/post/299775877/nosql-to-people http://nosql.mypopescu.com/post/299775877/nosql-to-people). With all the NoSQL solutions around, right now it is quite difficult to pick the one that fits your problem. Making it simple to try it out will generate a lot of use cases and that will make further adoption even easier. :- alex ps: (excuse and/or ignore what probably can be seen as a plug) on MyNoSQL (http://nosql.mypopescu.com http://nosql.mypopescu.com) I am trying to follow some of the most promising NoSQL projects and Redis is one of them. And according to the stats, there is a lot of cool activity around Redis.
