Thanks Ed for your offer to contribute. Are you interested in this JIRA: Support modern versions of gcc https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MADLIB-1025 ? Seems like a gap we should fill.
Looking thru the 2.0 JIRAs, the emerging themes seem to be: performance improvements, more graph algorithms, misc feature improvements:. For e.g., [performance] Add mini-batching to IGD framework https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MADLIB-1048 [graph] HITS https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MADLIB-1124 graph cut https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MADLIB-1074 [feature impr] k-NN distance functions https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MADLIB-1059 Neural nets grouping https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MADLIB-1149 This seems reasonable to me, to have various different types of things coming into 1.13 rather than a single theme . The mini-batching is something I am excited about since it could help performance for a number of different modules that use gradient descent. But I'll wait till next week to get more comments from the community before making any version changes.
