I would be happy to supervise a project to implement a demo of this if anybody is willing to do the grunt work of gluing things together.
Sooo, if you would like to work on this, here is a suggested project. This project would entail: a) build a synthetic data source b) write scripts to do the off-line analysis c) write scripts to export to Solr d) write a very quick web facade over Solr to make it look like a recommendation engine. This would include d.1) a "most popular page" that does combined popularity rise and recommendation d.2) a "personal recommendation page" that does just recommendation with dithering d.3) item pages with "related items" at the bottom e) work with others to provide high quality system walk-through and install directions If you want to bite on this, we should arrange a weekly video hangout. I am willing to commit to guiding and providing detailed technical approaches. You should be willing to commit to actually doing stuff. The goal would be to provide a fully worked out scaffolding of a practical recommendation system that presumably would become an example module in Mahout.
