Thats a very good idea. I'm happy to join!

Ted and others,
Once we have enough thoughts on 1.0 on this thread, can we get together on
Google Hangout and discuss the the plan, prioritize the work, and talk
about rough timeline for landing 1.0? We can then create JIRAs and go from
there. If everyone agrees, any preferences on a rough hangout date?
Thanks.

Ravi,
Good points.

- Natively support Windows (guidance, etc. No documentation exists today,
for instance)
There is a bit of demand for that.
- Faster time to first application (from discovery to first application
currently takes a non-trivial amount of effort; how can we lower the bar
and reduce the friction for adoption?)
There is huge evidence that this is important.
- Better documenting use cases with working samples/examples
(Documentation
on https://mahout.apache.org/users/basics/algorithms.html is spread out
and
there is too much focus on algorithms as opposed to use cases - this is
an
adoption blocker)
This is also important.
- Uniformity of the API set across all algorithms (are we providing the
same experience across all APIs?)
And many people have been tripped up by this.
- Measuring/publishing scalability metrics of various algorithms (why
would
we want users to adopt Mahout vs. other frameworks for ML at scale?)
I don't see this as important as some of your other points, but is still
useful.
