After reading the website and looking at the current production users, it seems the project has been created by a chinese team. Some (not the majority) commits were written in mandarin. It doesn't help to bring foreign developers to contribute. Also, they might not be in touch with the influential blogs or developers on social networks to talk about their project. Many nice front end projects made by Chinese developers have the same problem.

I agree that the communication with the community is very important.

A more difficult path is to have good benchmarks. I only found this: http://www.ideawu.com/blog/ssdb . It's like a 10% improvement, probably not enough to convince someone to switch. Is there an specific use case where they get a bigger difference?

When you have 100GB of data on a 32GB machine. Redis will choke and ssdb will keep going (it's using leveldb under the hood). The point is not better performance but acceptable performance that's more than fits in memory.
