Ok...cool. It's just that if it's going on the website by any chance, mentioning evolutionary algorithms(org.apache.mahout.ga.watchmaker) might attract contributors from the area. There are quite interesting algorithms like NSGA-II <http://www.iitk.ac.in/kangal/codes.shtml>, and several memetic algos that could be ported with widely available sources in other languages(usually C and C++).
I guess you're right, this isn't in the scope of the board report. It should much rather be on the upcoming site on things-to-do or something of that nature.
