I'd like to see open bugs in the mongodb charm fixed[1]. We're starting to
depend on this charm in production for sites like jujucharms.com, yet many
of these bugs affect our ability to deploy MongoDB effectively. For
example: enabling replica sets on deploy isn't currently possible (race
condition in the charm), MongoDB version > 2.4 isn't supported last I
checked, and it lacks suitable nagios integration to monitor it effectively.

It's possible that the charm would benefit from being rewritten in a more
modern, maintainable style as well -- that might help others contribute to
its success.
