   Hm, I assume you reached out to the mailing list and what not? I know a number of installations with numbers well above that. Were you using the batch insertion API?

   I can attest that Neo4j is production-ready- I know they're being used at companies like Adobe and Cisco, and we were happy with it at Scholrly.

   Yep, the "graph databases are too niche to be put into production" bit urked me- Neo4j et al are in plenty of large production systems. OTOH maybe, due to the distributed nature of the project, they didn't want to distribute

   Thanks so much for the contributions and comments folks. I didn't quite reach the goal for this milestone, but I can now afford to take some time on the project. Updates pending.

   Sorry about the trouble- Thanks for sticking it out!

   Exactly, thanks for clearing that up :)

   Of course I care- otherwise I wouldn't have devoted hundreds and hundreds of hours building and maintaining the library, supporting it all over StackOverflow, and participating in the Neo4j mailing list. Your other points are addressed

   No, I understood. I chose this format because I'd rather be funded by more, and smaller, contributions than one large sponsor. That might not always be the case, but I think that's where the project is right now.

    Django has an ORM that works with Postgre, MySQL, and other relational databases. Neo4django mimics the Django ORM, but connects to a graph database- Neo4j. It's a way to use Django with Neo4j, while supporting Django nice-to-haves lik

    Do note that I wrote the copy 30 days ago- this is the last day of a month-long campaign. I'd love any actionable advice on the copy.

    We use Gremlin for some of the more complicated stuff as well.

    Good point. One of these days, I'd love to decouple the DSL in neo4django from the query building, and allow eg a Rexter backend.

    A number of users have contributed to the campaign so far- this is the last day, thus the begging :)

    Bulbflow is great, but a little lower-level and doesn't offer much Django-specific integration (eg auth, admin, signals). It expects you to learn more about Neo4j, for better or worse.

    Not really- objects map better to graphs than relational databases, actually! I typically try to market the project as an OGM - Object Graph Mapper - but there's a bit of confusion there, since it uses the DSL established by the Django

    Sorry! I hadn't expected much non-niche interest in the campaign when I wrote the copy. Neo4django is a Django ORM replacement for the Neo4j graph database. I'm the primary dev, but since our startup supporting the project is on h

    Heh, thanks for the heads up. Looks like it's fixed- it was an issue deploying NLTK.

    Looking into it now- I'm definitely not seeing 2-5 minute responses, though 10 seconds is common. What URLs have you tried?

    I threw this together to scratch my own itch, but I'd love feedback. It's only hosted on a personal VPS right now, so be nice :)

    Google "lucene query syntax"- it's pretty common. In fact, the only reason it seems they needed pyparsing (from the last article) instead of using Lucene syntax (which Elasticsearch supports) is to support more field operators like '>'.

    I'm all about this sort of openness in the research process, but it seems counter to some disciplines' cultures- aren't eg, medicine and chemistry more competitive / secretive prior publication?

    Hm, couldn't a hybrid approach deal with this? Eg hash all the data except a few dimensions you think are vital, and add those to the resulting hashed array?

    On second thought, it's probably good if you guys don't respond to comments, duh.
