Problem
What are the best resources for learning how to operate and administer MongoDB?
There are plenty of resources on developing against it - which actually creates a problem when you've got plenty of development competence and really need to filter out that noise. For developers who can't afford to hire a DBA yet, we need to get reasonably good at keeping our Mongo cluster stable, performant, etc. Beyond the FAQs and quickstart guides, are there any other good repositories of info? Good blogs to follow, etc.?

Solution
The best resource has to be the MongoDB docs themselves ...
http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Home
I'm constantly finding something new there.
Secondly, I'd say you should run the "try MongoDB" in browser tutorial available here, it's awesome. You can try out querying and everything without installing anything.

Also, I'd personally recommend very highly these two tools:
You can also see my stackoverflow answer here for more details on MongoDB gui's also there are lots of videos available here: http://www.10gen.com/video
Lastly, you can check out http://learnmongo.com for a lot of beginners resources (full disclosure, I founded the site.)

- MongoVUE (Windows MongoDB GUI)
- RockMongo (PHP MongoDB interface, beats the pants off the others.)
