I would also be interested in the answer to this.
My impression is that the R-sig-gui is mostly about graphical programming
environments for R rather than about building GUI applications on top of R,
though of course there is some overlap.
I have recently started playing with R.rsp and it seems to provide a fairly
simple solution for developing GUIs if you have some familiarity with
generating Web pages dynamically (cf. ASP, JSP, etc.); R.rsp lets you build
a dynamic Web page powered by R. It includes its own asynchronous Web
server. To get started:
install.packages('R.rsp')
library(R.rsp)
browseRsp()
This will bring up the R.rsp documentation in a Web browser.
You can then edit rsp files in .../r/win-library/2.8/R.rsp/rsp and run
them. It is even pretty straightforward to include plotting output, though
the solution demonstrated in figures.rsp has a problem: either all users of
the server share the same set of plot files (so one user's output will
overwrite another's) or there will be an ever-growing collection of old plot
files, with no mechanism for culling them. You can imagine various ways
around this, but as far as I know R.rsp doesn't support them directly.
