As Suneel mentioned earlier: Before removing these algorithms we asked on the user list for input on what users really needed. If you need anything that was marked deprecated you are welcome to step up, provide patches and improvements to re-vive implementations that are currently in the danger of being deleted soon. > Btw, Mahout API is a little lack javadoc comments, every contributors > of Mahout should has the responsibility to add more javadoc comments > to the java file they created. Not an excuse but maybe a step forward: If you find classes and packages lacking documentation that you know well (or are in the process of getting to know well) we'd be grateful if you could provide the missing documentation as a patch to the code base*. Isabel * Also in my experience documentation patches tend to be easier to get approval for from your employer than donating whole new implementations that you have developed internally...
