I ran through the issues and compiled a list of tasks I'll care about,
please keep them open.
MAHOUT-710 Implementing K-Trusses
I'll pick up work on that in a few weeks.
MAHOUT-777 Improve TransposeJob to use a Combiner
Patch needs review from Jake (or anyone else willing to do that)
MAHOUT-767 Improve RowSimilarityJob performance for count-based distance
measures
Currently working on that.
MAHOUT-773 Implement Random Walk with Restarts
I have a working patch, but Ted suggested the use of random projections,
I'll have a look into that if I get hold of a linear algebra guru :)
MAHOUT-737 Implicit Alternating Least Squares SVD
This one needs input from Tamas Jambor, the code looked good, yet he has
to rework it to avoid a matrix inversion.
MAHOUT-609 Add an option to make RecommenderJob write out it's computed
item similarities
This should be a small change that I'll add in some spare time or before
the next release.

Hi all, I'm again seeing the issue count tend to pile up. I try to run
through regularly to resolve anything addressed to me, and even things that
aren't but that I am confident enough to fix. It would be great if everyone
could do the same in a spare 1-2 hours this week, if only to say "yes, go
ahead on that patch" or "no I don't think this is a good idea". Especially
the committers who have not been active in a while.
To me, this is the most essential work we can do, because without responses
from those with power to commit, new community members get the message that
their contributions are ignored, or that nobody's home. That's no good.
Understanding that individuals may not have time to actively write their own
new changes and improvements, it seems that the least we can all do is
involve and respond to external input, to bring in those who want to make
changes.
I'd also like to sweep through the issues that have not been touched in 6+
months and close some that just do not seem to be getting any traction or
attention. The theory is that closing stuff that by all accounts won't get
looked at better communicates what's coming in the project, and focuses
attention on issues that might get looked at.
Before I start that though, would welcome anyone to peek at everything
that's open and assign, comment, ping, etc. anything that needs to be kept
alive.
