Last century, it wasn\´t known if data miners could find structure within software projects. This century, we know better: data mining has been successfully applied to many different artifacts from software projects. So it\´s time to move on to "What\´s next?" In the author\´s view, "discussion mining" is the next great challenge for the predictive modeling community. These discussion miners know that while predictions and decisions are important, so too are the questions and insights generated on the way to those conclusions.
