Long time since I have posted in here. Lots has changed (though, surprisly still waiting on a check..hmm..). I have Drupalized the Movielens database and it has shown some HUGE performance problems. I think I have found them and they will be squashed!

I plan on implementing a query object much like the views does. This will allow modules that implement my recommendation api to edit the query through hooks.

Install process has been revamped...again! It runs through and installs incrimentally through cron runs. Scary I know but its only a big deal if the site already has a large votingapi data set. Once installed it runs smoothly. Deciding on whether or not to develop a install method that instead of editing the database directly, creates a sql file. Then the adminstrator has to run the sql file into the database. Seems to go the wrong direction from a useability standpoint, but it would make my life easier :-D.

I didn't realize when I first started this how much fun and how interesting this project has been. Been a blast and I hope everyone is having as much fun as I am.
