I would like to contribute to the Mahout library

Mahout Developers:

I would like to make some kind of contribution to the Mahout library. 
To this end, here are a couple of ideas:

1) Sign up to maintain the fpgrowth code, with the thought of adding 
some alternative to the Hadoop MapReduce portion of the implementation.

2) Is there still interest in a deep autoencoder for time series?

I do have a background in neural networks, and a very strong background 
in math.  I lean towards working on an autoencoder thing.  Then again, 
I'm open to suggestions.

Regards, Ray Melton.

Both of these are of interest, the first particularly so since several
people have asked about this lately.

Having a non-map-reduce version of fp-growth would make it possible to
maintain that code going forward.
