RavenDB is already a very mature product: the official release was over a year ago, and it is already being used in production by several companies, some for about a year now. Before the official release, RavenDB has been in development for about 2.5 years, totaling more than 3.5 years of active, daily development now. Today we are mainly working on performance improvements, and on perfecting what’s already there.

So much effort has been put into development, that proper documentation was consistently lagging behind. We worked very hard on creating the most awesome document-oriented database around, that we hardly put any thought on visibility, and on spreading the word.

Now that the API has stabilized, and the product is definitely in a very good shape to say the least, it is time to redirect some efforts for making the documentation more comprehensive and up-to-date, and for letting people know how awesome RavenDB is.

The first step for doing this is giving RavenDB a face, a logo, something that people would recognize. After a few weeks of work and polls, we now have a final logo:

We are already hard at work on the next steps – redesigning the website, and creating better user experience with it. Documentation is also catching up quite nicely, and we will soon be blogging about this separately (there’s much to tell…).

You can now also follow the RavenDB project on Twitter: @RavenDB . Starting today, we will be posting updates there as well.

Stay tuned while we work on making RavenDB even more awesome!
