Communication at Mahout happens primarily online via mailing lists. We have a user as well as a dev list for discussion. In addition there is a commit list so we are able to monitor what happens on the wiki and in svn.
Mailing lists

IRC
Mahout's IRC channel is #mahout. It is a logged channel. Please keep in mind that it is for discussion purposes only and that (pseudo)decisions should be brought back to the dev@ mailing list or JIRA and other people who are not on IRC should be given time to respond before any work is committed.
