Make Orchard works with MongoDB

My objective is to make Orchard CMS works with MongoDB.

I look on Google for some resources about how to start with the integration but I didn't find any documentation on this.

Is anyone already make Orchard works with a NoSQL DB ? What the first step in order to modify default database from SQL Server to MongoDB ?

I read this documentation:

http://weblogs.asp.net/bleroy/the-shift-how-orchard-painlessly-shifted-to-document-storage-and-how-it-ll-affect-you

read on release note from 1.8 that 

Performance improvements by unleashing the power of the document db architecture built in Orchard

But I can't figure what that's mean exactly

In the Orchard Uservoice, there are already 43 votes for extension for MongoDB

Orchard 1 stores a lot of its data encoded as XML in a special column of its content item table. That is all it means. The database still has to be relational, and still has to work with nHibernate. That excludes MongoDB.

Orchard 2's data story on the other hand is built for document storage, or more precisely it separates storage from querying, and can work with pretty much anything for the storage part.

So MongoDB as a content store for Orchard 1 will never happen, but it will for Orchard 2.
