Yes there is a framework in the code for running a Recommender across

Both could use testing, refinement and enhancement.
I do not know of an algorithm which is by nature efficiently
distributable.
Finding and implementing such a thing would be great.
I would be the person to contact about this so feel free to run your
proposals by me.
Sean definitely is the expert, but please don't have discussions off
list (if that is what is implied here). We'll all benefit from the
discussion and I know I've learned a lot about CF already just from
what has taken place so far.
