A little update to prevent the vote from closing: we're still discussing possible steps to make, see details in the thread below. We should have some sort of plan in a couple of days. In the meantime: contributions are very welcome!

It can provide a number of commonly used libraries (Mahout, Giraph, MLlib, GraphX), UDF's, Input- OutputFormats, Pig Readers and Writers and code templates. Would you guys commit to making an attempt at building this? If so then I propose we write a short proposal and send it to the list. In the meantime I'll forward this thread. Bob, I don't know enough about virtualenv internals. Do you think it'd be possible to plug that into Orion or Cloud9's server? Mirko, I'm open to exploring possibilities within Oozie, but personally I've never used it: I just write drivers that chain jobs. So I can't judge its applicability right now. Could we create a standalone IDE and when (if) we get that to work, plug it into Oozie? How about effort? I'm willing to commit to putting some time in the coming few months, but it'll be hard to do more than 10 hours weekly or so. Cheers, Evert
