Folks, We have the MI cluster code to contribute. It has been suggested that labs.apache.org might be a good target. However, topic-wise, Mahout would make more sense.
This poses two questions. 1) Does Mahout want the (small) distraction of this at the moment? 2) Is the PMC willing to do something a little out-of-the-ordinary with committer privs, as I'll explain below. to quote: "Apache Labs was established to provide a place where trusted individuals can innovate without the burden of community building, with the comfort of the apache infrastructure and remaining close to their peers, making it easier to get feedback and seeding new potential incubator podlings." I think that I can make a strong case for the author as being trustworthy at labs. I'm reasonably sure that I can make a case for *myself*, at least, in a pinch. On the other hand, I don't think it's viable to expect him to become a committer at Mahout via the usual process, and I'm not comfortable with contributing the code and not ending up with commit rights. And I'm just not finding the time to lend enough assistance here to have much chance of becoming a committer. So, I'm thinking that labs is the right path, but I wanted to give the Mahout community a chance to think about it first. Thanks, benson
