Description

The top-level project directory has collected, over time, a number of directories that have a generally similar purpose: to collect various config files, data files, and scripts. In addition toWe have, at first glance:

bin/
mahout
conf/
(various .props files)
etc/
build.xml (reusable Ant tasks?)
findbugs-exclude.xml
mahout.importorder
mahout/
conf/
arff.vector.props (wrong place?)
src/
main/
appended-resources/
META-INF/
NOTICE
supplemental-models.xml
site/
site.xml

There are a few top-level generated directories:

input/
...
output/
...
testdata/
transactions
test.txt

I'd like to prune whatever isn't needed anymore, and rationalize one directory structure as a start.
Can anyone help by suggesting things to be removed, or a directory structure?
