Hi David, Welcome into Mahout =)

The "How To Contribute" Wiki page is a must read, it gives you a quick overview 
about all you'll need to when contributing to Mahout.

In my own experience you'll also need to:
* know how to build the latest version of Mahout:

http://cwiki.apache.org/MAHOUT/buildingmahout.html

although, depending on your project you may skip the Taste Web part if you're 
not working with Taste.

* know how to run an example in Hadoop, at least in pseudo-distributed:

http://hadoop.apache.org/core/docs/current/quickstart.html

These are certainly of interest.

In addition you can checkout and have a look at the code. Try to get a rough 
idea of where your contribution would fit best. Please share your ideas with 
the community to get feedback early on.

[jira] Commented: (MAHOUT-116) Decode matrix methods

2009-04-21 Thread Isabel Drost (JIRA)

[ 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-116?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12701238#action_12701238
 ] 

Isabel Drost commented on MAHOUT-116:
-

I would like to suggest to provide one standard serialization mechanism but 
make the implementation interchangeable so people can provide their own way 
of (de-)serializing matrices and vectors.

I don't like the idea to force people to use one or another method for storing 
and distributing pre-processed data sets. Especially as there are already 
various ways (mainly file formats) to encode datasets (more or less) 
established.
