There's been talk of releasing 0.1 for a long time. As far as I can tell the only task anyone is thinking of completing before 0.1 is a migration to Maven. Might I suggest that we either decide to do that this week, or decide to do it later, so that either way we can finally get out a first release at the start of next week?
(I am neutral on Maven -- not against it, not for it -- don't mind if someone else wants to do it.) "0.1" does not need to be nearly perfect; I think we're definitely past the 0.1 state. Whatever we have, just pack it up and release it. It's OK if the structure changes later. I want to push on this a little since I haven't put out a real release of the CF code since last April or so, and people are still using the old code since it's the last released version, and asking about bugs or performance problems that were long since fixed in Mahout, or that need features in Mahout. I can tell them to check SVN but this is a turn-off for some people that just want a .jar. So it would sure be of benefit to me to cut a release. I am going to hold off on any significant changes this second to focus on releasing 0.1. After that I want to update some dependencies and get going on a few non-trivial changes in my neck of the code. Thoughts? Sean
