I'd love to have a better "Taste for dummies" getting started section. I too am on OS X, and with this thread can finally compile Taste, but the instructions are still vauge (to me). I'd love to help, but I think it'd be /great/ to have something really easy to follow along with, ala..

1. Create a file in the format, userId,itemID. Call it "input.txt".
2. Create a class.. <code for class that reads in input.txt>
3. How to build mahout
4. How to build taste
5. instructions for running the class
6....

I think this would help a lot of people.

Thanks for your time!

I can take care of it shortly when I'm back. The only tweak I'd make
is that 'step 0' is just to obtain the distro, which is not
necessarily done via SVN and in fact won't be done that way for most
people.

I also see that my 'how to roll your own server' section is now out of
date too and needs fixing.
