Hi Sabine,
thank you for your observations, interesting pointers and offer for help! I will integrate as much as possible and your comments are certainly welcome!
I am not so knowledgeable about data migration, I understand what you are saying but I have no deep insights. I will add something about data migration to the documentation but I think it will be brief.
Greetings,

> 7) Last point, you could add some words/thoughts about data migration: what do I mean with this? Today, my model is as it is. My app runs. Data is generated in MongoDB. But after e.g. one month, I decide to change my model. Now, there are 2 possibilities: migrate all data while installing the new version or some kind of "lazy" migration at the moment, the object is loaded from mongo (I do this within the magritte description). Both has advantages and disadvantages and depends on the situation. I am interested in other opinions and solutions for this.
