I hadn't thought of the 'different random sample' approach. That's neat.

Yes, I am quite proud of that. The program that does the sampling and mailing is called "Distras".

Is that problem part of an open source project?


That is my intention. Currently the program is written in Delphi (version 7), but it should be relatively easy to transfer it into a version that can be compiled with an open source Pascal compiler.


I hope you'll keep the community posted on that. If you ever have a need for a function in R for linux that makes e-mailing easy, I have one.

Now, that is interesting. I have not thought abut mailing from R. The main reason for writing the program in Delphi was that I had the compiler already and that is simple to program something that could mail. Having a copy of a mailing function for Linux would be useful in any case, so my response would simply be: Yes please. Would that function work with Ubuntu?

One issue I need to face is that for project assignments involving more comprehensive analyses of datasets there are many right answers so automatic checking of results is difficult.

Yes, that would be tricky. The problems my students get are quite simpleminded. In any case, the checking is not automatic, I still have to compare the answers from the students with my solution "manually".
