As I mentioned to some of you, there's a proposal to begin work on a book on Mahout. It sounds early, but the publisher assures me it's about the right time to begin, if we want a book out at roughly the time '1.0' rolls out in a year or so. I've heard support for the idea, and think it's a good thing.
I'm going to move forward drafting a proposal and draft outline of such a thing. It seems so far I am the (only?) one interested in significant work in writing such a thing, which is cool, so I can drive this -- but I'd be concerned if it were just me speaking for the project book. Hence: - Who else might be interested in being a co-author and putting in significant work? - Would anyone care to read the proposal before I send it in? - Would anyone help me, in the short term, draft an outline of the content of the classification and clustering sections?
