[snip snip snip] I'm not commenting one way or the other on the value of the project or its suitability for GSoC, but: at least as presented, I can't see any reason at all that this project can't be done as a package (just like the other 3000+ packages on CRAN that implement valuable added functionality). Also, therefore, no need to get R-Core to sign off on the project (unless that is needed for GSoC purposes). Asking around for a potential mentor on the R lists seems reasonable, although I don't know whether R-devel or R-help would be a better venue. good luck, Ben Bolker ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
