I would like to discuss whether we should start to have some Spark-related code in Mahout.

Grant had setup a Google Hangout for Mahout sometime last year before 0.8 
release.  I had one setup too for 0.9 release. I definitely wouldn't want to 
have a hangout on Saturday or weekend.

Happy to organize a google hangout.  That has the advantage of allowing more 
attendees and supporting YouTube archiving.

Hello All,
Dr.Dunning could you set a meeting next Sat morning, so we can chat and
discuss by skype improvements and what to do and indentify volunteer and
tasks.
Best Regards,
Giorgio

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.
