Ravi,
Good points.

- Natively support Windows (guidance, etc. No documentation exists today,
for instance)
There is a bit of demand for that.
- Faster time to first application (from discovery to first application
currently takes a non-trivial amount of effort; how can we lower the bar
and reduce the friction for adoption?)
There is huge evidence that this is important.
- Better documenting use cases with working samples/examples
(Documentation
on https://mahout.apache.org/users/basics/algorithms.html is spread out
and
there is too much focus on algorithms as opposed to use cases - this is an
adoption blocker)
This is also important.
- Uniformity of the API set across all algorithms (are we providing the
same experience across all APIs?)
And many people have been tripped up by this.
- Measuring/publishing scalability metrics of various algorithms (why
would
we want users to adopt Mahout vs. other frameworks for ML at scale?)
I don't see this as important as some of your other points, but is still
useful.
