Pat Ferrel commented on MAHOUT-1482:
------------------------------------

I still like the command line tour. To really make it a quickstart, there is no 
build, no git or svn checkout, no POM editing, just download and run. This 
makes it accessible to anyone even if they aren't Java programmers. Most of my 
first uses were through bash scripts running the command line. With a tiny bit 
of Java to read the output (which we should probably find a way to remove). 
Shouldn't we try to reach web and mobile app devs? 

The uses of Mahout are so much larger than its current audience.
