[UPDATE] Mahout - February 2023

[Andrew Musselman <ak...@apache.org>]

Devs and Users:

Here is a quick update for the community about where we are as a project
and a bit about some upcoming plans. Please reach out if you are interested
in helping to shape up plans and do some work.

There is a community call scheduled for the last Wednesday of every month;
hope you can join us. Here is a link to the meeting:

*Project Activity:*
The project has been slow due to personal commitments for some time, while
continuing to debate direction. We are renewing recruiting efforts and
committing to some core improvements and additions, such as supporting
Python
in the math DSL instead of continuing with Scala.

We are moving back to a monthly community meeting to include new
contributors
as well as to establish momentum around concrete plans. Short-term
improvements include documentation and website fixes, along with outlines
for
plans. Mid-term (six months) target will be to have a plan in place for a
Python DSL along with other features such as new data sources and indexers.
Long-term (nine months plus) could include new back-end compute platforms
such
as Apache Ray.

Best
Andrew
