We don't exactly have that page, but we have pages that touch parts of
it, such as
https://mahout.apache.org/users/basics/creating-vectors-from-text.html
It would be great if you could create a jira ticket which lists the
errors. I'll fix them then.
Best,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,
I am afraid I am only familiar with the recommendation part.
In previous posts, I pointed a couple of errors in this wiki page:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAHOUT/Quick+tour+of+text+analysis+using+the+Mahout+command+line
If you are planning to keep it in the new web, I can help pointing them out
again.
Thanks a lot for your effort.

Hi,
As you've probably noticed, I've put in a lot of effort over the last days
to kickstart cleaning up our website. I've thrown out a lot of stuff and
have been startled by the amout of outdated and incorrect information on
our website, as well as links pointing to nowhere.
I think our lack of documentation makes it superhard to use Mahout for new
people. A crucial next step is to clean up the documentation on
classification and clustering. I cannot do this alone, because I don't have
the time and I'm not so familiar with the background of the algorithms.
I need volunteers to go through all the pages under "Classification" and
"Clustering" on the website. For the algorithms, the content and claims of
the articles need to be checked, for the examples we need to make sure that
everything still works as described. It would also be great to move
articles from personal blogs to our website.
Imagine that some developer wants to try out Mahout and takes one hour for
that in the evening. She will go to our website, download Mahout, read the
description of an algorithm and try to run an example. In the current state
of the documentation, I'm afraid that most people will walk away
frustrated, because the website does not help them as it should.
Best,
Sebastian
PS: I will make my standpoint on whether Mahout should do a 1.0 release
depend on whether we manage to clean up and maintain our documentation.
