Ask HN: Would you start a new project based on Riak KV

Two years from now, we have build a document center based on riak kv for internal used. It only took us a few weeks of work to be up and running. And the project is still actively used.

As I see a few customers that would need a similar solution, I was thinking about making this document center some sort of product. Because it was an internal project, the idea would be to start the "product" from scratch. As I was doing some research, I found that Basho, the original company behind riak, went bankrupt. The sources were bought by bet365 who planed to open the source code. I read here and there that there was several companies and individuals ready to build a community around riak but I could not find a announcement, real commitment and a plan for the project.

I'm now wonder if I could go with riak again or if I'm better selecting another technology (sadly because I was perfectly happy with riak). I can leave without paying support but I don't want to start a project from scratch with a technology that would be dying...
