Hi Lvc@,

we're watching and trying out OrientDB from time to time since we've found 
it in the depths of the internet around 2010 or maybe early 2011. Since 
that time, we have a feeling that OrientDB did some great steps forward. 

Nevertheless, until a few weeks ago, we didn't port any of our applications 
from the current DBMS, namely PostgreSQL, to OrientDB because of the 
repeated reports about stability issues. Also, we still think that the 
documentation needs some more effort as it doesn't cover some topics 
extensive enough to get a quick start with some features. In our case, that 
was how to work with embedded map/set/list. Also, i wonder why nobody 
answers on posts like this 
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/orient-database/u1TyMYDXlz0>. If 
it's our fault what happened, it's okay, but please tell us. If it's a 
known issue, it's okay, but please tell us. If it may be a yet unkown bug, 
there's also no problem, but please let the user feel that you care about 
it, even if he doesn't pay. That's what, in our eyes, good community work 
is all about.

Okay, that's what we think could be improved. But now let me tell you some 
positive things, as well :) We love your project. Your decision to publish 
OrientDB under the Apache 2.0 license made us decide to kick Neo4j out of 
the race and for your project. Generally, we plan to sooner or later 
migrate to OrientDB wherever it's possible. We started a few weeks ago to 
port one of our projects, a customer information platform for 
medical-related services, to OrientDB - in this case, still with a 
Postgresql data warehouse in the back. Two new projects with a release in 
the beginning of next year, we're currently developing from the ground up 
with OrientDB and we'll be paying customers soon. Take it as a sign that we 
strongly believe in the success of the hard work you put in your product 
and company.

Best wishes, 

David
