Getting started with OTP: creating process families

OTP is an overloaded term, one-time pads, one-time passwords, etc. This one is Open Telecommunications Platform.

Yeah, OTP is an awful name because it's meaningless in the context of programming without reading history from the 1980s. It should really just be called "erlang library frameworks" or something similarly sensible.

This article is largely a copy/paste/reword job from the official erlang docs (http://www.erlang.org/doc/design_principles/gen_server_conce...) too.

I dunno. Something called "Open Telecom Platform" sounds very stodgy and reliable to me. :)
