I sent an email out yesterday afternoon, but I'm fairly certain it was lost in the sea of JIRA we accidently blew up the dev list with in the early evening (it went to user twice, so if this is the forth time you're seeing this- I really am sorry)...
I know there are some folks on here who have been interested in getting more involved with the project, specifically contributing code. With the recent additions of Native Bindings and Algorithms, there is a lot to do- and we have begun tagging issues as 'beginner', for those who are overwhelmed by where to start. Click here to see the recent list: https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20% 3D%20MAHOUT%20AND%20status%20%3D%20Open%20and%20labels%20%3D%20beginner We'll keep that updated, feel free to reach out with any issues, and as always thanks for the support!
