I love this project, congrats on reaching 1.0. One question - do you have any plans to support replica sets, or can I currently specify a connection to a set of servers rather than one master? Thanks!

You, Nathan and Brian have done a great job with 1.0 -- Way to Go!! What happens if a Middleware never calls done() ? Does setter transformation happen upon set or upon save? I am excited to see Mongoose evolve -- the Middleware concept is exciting. Some minor feedback on the new site: Middleware are defined at the Schema level and are applied when the methods init (when a document is initialized with data from MongoDB), save (when a document or embedded document is saved). I think you want to say something like "when the methods init or save are called", but the "are called" is missing from the above. Then down a bit, you have "Serial Serial Middleware" and "Parallel Parallel Middleware"; not sure about the redundant first words. The email address in the copyright notice is html-entities, but they are escaped: <dev@learnboost.com> Final nitpick: the site is a little hard to read with the current background. Overall, great work!!

how do I do upserts with Mongoose?

and another question - is it possible to index embedded document fields? When I query for a single embedded document, does mongoose return only this single document, or the whole parent document with all embedded documents is returned beforehand?

MongooseJS is pretty cool. I have one question, though: Why must you define models' schema when you're interacting with a schema-less database such as MongoDB?

  So, if anyone from the Mongoose team is around, please correct me if I'm wrong - but defining a model's schema helps mostly in scenarios where you would typecast or otherwise transform attributes. It's more about helping you easily use data that's retrieved from the DB more than about defining a schema.
