You can hire the developers of mongodb, 10gen, themselves, they provide commercial support / consulting for mongodb.

Agreed .I like 10gen but I don't think I could hire them to help me with my side projects which I am using to get acquainted with MongoDB.

I was looking more for guys like contract DBAs that are available for Oracle or even PostgresSQL. Maybe 10gen could create certification programs for admins such that we could have a pool of knowledgeable admins who could support MongoDB newbies such as myself.

10gen offers training for DBAs: http://www.10gen.com/training

No certification right now but that's good feedback, thanks

Is there anything that prevents you from reading the mailing list a bit and mailing some helpful and competent people? It's not "official", but you may end up with more competent and cheaper help that way.
