It works fine as long as you install Java 1.5 and you export that as your Java 
Home ahead of time.  I modified the Forrest shell script to do the export in 
there.

Steps:
1. 
http://www.grantingersoll.com/2009/09/11/how-to-restore-java-1-5-and-1-4-on-os-x-snow-leopard/
2. Put export 
JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5/Home/ at the 
top of the forrest script in /bin/forrest

We should state up front, just like in Lucene land, that anyone who  
has a book on Mahout is welcome to link it on the page.  The more  
books on Mahout the merrier!

I think it's a good idea since it points people to more resources,

I want feedback on the text via MEAP. But I also have some financial
interest so need an honest opinion on whether this is a good thing.

I updated the news setction.

Since I'm on a Mac with Java 6 and Forrest doesn't work there, would
anyone mind running forrest?

+1 (and probably motivate people who are publishing articles or giving talks on 
Mahout to add links to their publications on the "Books, Articles, Talks" wiki-
page as well).
