I think Mahout is not really suitable to build demos that explain the inner 
workings of the algorithms implemented.

I agree with that. I think once we offer enough functionality to be usable for 
commercial projects it would be nice to gather a list of links to users.

I would also love to see our name mentioned in a few research publications or 
at one of the machine learning competitions - the blog track would be a 
really great start ;)

I think for that we should rely on datasets that are manageable with a few 
machines. I would guess people evaluating our library or want to add more 
functionality do not necessarily  have a huge cluster of machines at their 
disposal.
