advance backward?
I added a "welcoming bug" feature in adviserl: a simple save_files/0 function to backup the recommender data in a persistent manner.
That was quick to write, and I really need it now that I begin to look at a lot of data. But it's the wrong way to do it: I need to synchronize the multiple servers before to make or restore the backup. Still wondering if I should have done that in a branch ...
Anyway, it's here, and it works: if the application anvironment define few files where to save data, those files will be read and written when application start or stop respectively (you can use load_files/0 or save_files/0 whenever you want, but be careful that servers should not process anything else at the same time to avoid inconsistent state).
Mnesia backend is becoming urgent now ... it's the next point on the roadmap :)
