“AvocadoDB” becomes “ArangoDB”

General Leave a comment

Hi folks,

to avoid legal issues with some other Avocado lovers we have to change the name of our database. We want to stick to Avocados and selected a variety from Mexico/Guatemala called “Arango”.

So in short words: AvocadoDB will become ArangoDB in the next days, everything else remains the same. :-)

We are making great progress towards version 1 (deadline is end of May). The simple query language is finished and documented and the more complex ArangoDB query language (AQL) is mostly done. So stay tuned. And: in case you know someone who is a node.js user and interesting in writing an API for ArangoDB: let me know!

Best wishes
Dorthe
