Data Providers

FileDataProvider: FAST (default) (loading data from cache-files)
LiveDataProvider: SLOW (fetching up-to-date data from svn repos)

Development

update FileDataProvider caches after each code-change to make changes available to users rake write_cache_for_file_data_provider
FileDataProvider tests might fail if caches are not updates

Alphabetical localized sorting

If you would like to have the countries list sorted alphabetically in different languages there is a gem called sort_alphabetical for that.

TODO

include other language/country code formats (3-letter codes...) ?
parse list of files on isocodes for write_cache instead of hardcoding country-specific ones
rake task that checks that the readme is updated with language/country counters
