  &jqlQuery=project+%3D+MAHOUT+AND+fixVersion+%3D+%220.5%22

The PMC plans an 0.6 release at the end of the year. The focus
continues to be on polish and refinement in advance of a 1.0 release;
A 1.0 release may come in mid 2012 but is not yet being planned.

The community continues to grow steadily. The user and dev lists
contained 793 and 470 subscribers, respectively, in January 2011.
They now contain 983 and 557 respectively. We've seen healthy
community activity around the world, including new talks at events
from Berlin, Seoul, London and Chicago.

The project has one area of significant new activity: graph mining
and graph-related algorithms. For example, Mahout has a
PageRank-like implementation now.

earlier in the year, but reconfirms that the site is in compliance
