I’d like to use Rinda to do some blackboard work, but I was wondering if  
there is a version that is persistent? I want it to be fault tolerant  
in that sense, so that if the process crashes or the server hangs, that  
the space can reload itself on restart…

Anyone know about this?

Thanks,

Sam

i looked into this at one point when i was writing rq - i think i  
decided  
you’d have to create your own persisntence mechanism and, one you got a  
db  
under the hood the usefulness of rinda is greatly diminished.

what kind of blackboard work would you plan to do?
