Edited by Robin Anil:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Anything that is to be added to [the source code 
repository|http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/mahout/ ] is first presented as a patch 
in the issue tracker. All conversations are echoed on the developer mailing 
list and people tend to respond or continue conversations there rather in the 
issue tracker, so in order to follow an issue you might also have to read to 
the mailing lists. 

An issue does not literally have to be an issue. It could be a wish, task, bug 
report, et c. and it does not have to contain a patch.

Mahout use [JIRA|http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT]. It is made by 
the same company that made this Wiki and a handful of other collaborate 
software development tools that supposedly can communicate with each other and 
be trigged by actions such as commits to SVN with issue identity in the 
comments.

h3. Best practise

Don't create duplicate issues. Make sure your problem is a problem and that 
nobody else already fixed it. If you are new to the project it is often 
prefered that the subject of an issue is discussed on one of our mailing list 
before an issue is created.

Quote what it is you are responding to in comments.

Patches should be created at trunk or trunk parent level and if possible be a 
single uncompressed text file so it is easy to inspect the patch in a web 
browser. (See [PatchCheckList].)

Use the issue identity when referring to an issue in any of our fora. 
"MAHOUT-n" and not "mahout-n" or "n". MAHOUT-1 would automatically be linked to 
[MAHOUT-1|http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-1] in a better world.
