Hi Kristina -

I work at 10gen (company that develops & supports MongoDB). I'd be happy to
chat with you sometime and give you some ideas/feedback. In the interim you
may want to check out this article about JBoss. It's the best overview of
the open source biz model I've read:

Good luck!

Cheers
Meghan
