Hi, After having used S+ in commercial setting and then R in non-commerical (but still supporting my commercial interests), I would like to give back, if possible.
Where I can contribute: 1. SCAN / PREVENT Stability and Threat analysis (big open source presence supported by coverity) 2. Intel Threaded Building Blocks library support to leverage multicore CPUs (plan now for 8-way) 3. VTune analysis/cache optimization for identification of loop unrolls, etc. All this would be on linux (Fed8 at present), except I do have an Intel compiler on Win if it was needed, would need to find fortran compiler, make lots of adjustments, I suspect. I've already started on #3 and would only take on #1 if someone in the R project blessed, because David Miller at coverity likes to support the broader projects over lone-cowboy stuff. P.S. What an easy build, as far as open src goes, your build person deserves credit. I'm currently setting up to compare gcc to intel compiler on the R base and rerunning the timing benchmarks. Thanks.
