One thing I'd encourage everyone to start on sooner rather than later is a placeholder doc on the https://cwiki.apache.org/MAHOUT/algorithms.html page that captures some of your background material as well as some links to your JIRA issues.
Also, while it's not required, you might consider filing an iCLA: http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt Again, not a requirement of GSOC or anything like that. -Grant On Apr 27, 2010, at 2:40 PM, Shannon Quinn wrote: > Rounding out the FamousFive with a unanimous +1 for the shared blog idea! :) > > Congratulations to everyone!
