The _README is a more verbose tutorial covering building the driver and various use-cases and special considerations, leaving syntax reference docs to the _table(5) document. > > - Have you tested the key features? > > I have built and tested the module on Alpine-3.16 inside a container, > using a MongoDB Atlas cluster for the backend database.

I think the major hurdles have been mostly cleared. I would encourage you to draft an initial _README that is similar in spirit to those for PostgreSQL and/or LDAP. After that, Wietse and I will have to find some time for code review. This may take a bit of time, but should ideally happen in time for 3.8.0, and so naturally would need to be complete a few snapshots earlier. -- Viktor.
