One starting point of discussion for this dev list I would see valuable is answering two questions: Oryx seems to support pretty much the exact same two use cases as Apache Mahout: Clustering, Classification and Recommendations. When would you advise people to use the one, when the other? I think asking this question could also lead us closer to an answer to what I believe Manuel is getting at with his request for benchmarks: From a user's perspective, what are the factors that determine when to go for which? Is there anything to learn technologically here for Mahout? One last thing to keep in mind during the discussion: Both projects are Apache licensed. So if there's people putting valuable code into Oryx - beautiful: All the more code that Mahout can benefit from as well ;) Isabel
