I’m working on something, @Dmitriy mentioned that we might be able to add to the second edition of the Beyond Mapreduce book, also looking at a free self-published PDF book. Not sure how much it helps to have paper or a publisher behind promotion. Any thoughts are welcome
In the meantime it will come out incrementally in form of blog posts and docs updates. Doc updates will be on the Mahout site, blog posts will be as guest posts but will be mirrored here: blog.actionml.com PM me if you have leads on possible guest post sites. We are starting to get a lot of interesting real world results data, and some we can make public. So we can talk 1/2 about the math and 1/2 about practical applications. BTW this has led to some possible gen 2 mods and additions to the Mahout code.
