I am not a fan of setting goals. Put simply, I believe in setting one and only one goal, make it work right. But I think its apporiate to iron out what my goals should be for midterm evals. So...

1.) Make apporiate comments and documentation to the cre.module and node_recommendation.module
2.) Create a development document so that people can design other modules in the same vain of node_recommendation.module
3.) Create a module to recommend users or comments ( haven't decided which one yet)
4.) Views integration

All very difficult stuff. I would also like to Drupalize the Movielens dataset so that I can consider how to better optimize the installation of the module. And to figure out what should be a threshold for too many votes and how to best split up the installation.

Right now with just under 1000s votes it takes maybe a 1:30 to install.
