MongoDB

Hey,

I started doing some heavier reading on MongoDB and realized that is
awesome! I took a look around at using it as a back-end for Django and
it seems like you have to use the Django-norel fork.

My question to those who have used it -- is it a fairly extensive
change to go from a standard relational backend to MongoDB? We already
have several models in place and are using quite a few third party
applications. I'd really love to make the switch with our current in-
development application if possible, but since we're on a deadline I
can't make any large changes at this point that will require a ton of
time.

The thing I love most about it is there doesn't appear to be any need
to do schema changes (since there is no DB Schema), which *seems* like
it would make life so much easier. I'm not sure if that's the case
when it comes to the real world.

I'm open to arguments for/against it as well.

Thanks!
