Improving Mahout (in a summer of code - but without Google)

[Stephan Seufert <se...@pydev.org>]

Hello folks,

I am hereby providing me and a lot of code (to be written) to the  
Mahout project. I would love to put in some work to this great. At the  
time of this writing I am a final year cs student interested  
(serendipity!) mainly in machine learning. So if any of you top  
committers or old-hands will get in contact with me to start  
something, I'd be really happy. And no, I'm not looking for SoC  
funding (no offense whatsoever).

Kind regards,
steps

Hi Steps,

What did you have in mind?  You don't have to wait until summer to  
contribute, but you obviously can.  See the How to Contribute section  
on the wiki.  Basically, code up your algorithms and submit them as  
patches to JIRA.  We pretty much work on an ad hoc basis here, so feel  
free to propose an idea and discuss and implement.

Cheers,
Grant
