My position is probably best summarized as follows: 1. I'm against dependencies for everything concerning the "core business" of Commons Math: A light-weight library of mathematical algorithms. 2. I'm for dependencies when avoiding them means re-inventing the wheel (e.g. localization, logging). 3. Consistently with point 1, I'm against locking CM in self-inflicted dependencies, a.o. publicizing an API that does not belong to the "core business". > What I would like to see: > - more exchanges with the Mahout community Are you ready to depend on their library? > [...] Best regards, Gilles --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
