Considering switching to globalsign/mgo about mgo HOT 1 CLOSED

Hi @qhenkart

First off thanks for your kind words!

We keep an eye on both the 10gen repo, and the original go-mgo repo, pulling anything of use over into this - that's actually how this started, I was just keeping a "best of" repo for our own use. Now it's grown into mostly organic changes from the many fantastic contributors (thanks!) - if there's anything not pulled across that you think should be included just open a PR.

Regarding your second point I've had no communication with Mongo, however it was pointed out that this fork was listed on their community driver page recently. The original fork seems to have chosen not to become "official" for whatever reason.

I don't think either fork is likely to be "official" in the near future, the 10gen repo seems mostly geared to testing mongo features (I'm guessing from their commits here).

The health of this fork is as much down to the many contributors as it is ourselves so we can't take all the credit :) Thanks though!
