Hi, The web interfaces are great examples of using R from the web. The wordpress plugin is a great creative thought.
Taking this further- since one critical point in R vs SAS or other Corporate Type Software is the way it handles memory, could we install say R web and these plugins on a cloud scalable environment ( basically computing and memory scalable per use) to offer R as a SaaS Zementis offers scoring of PMML models in the cloud environment, but if you add the R Web interface, with other stats procedures ( most commonly used are regression modules) , you could ideally offer people a chance to rent BOTH creating and scoring the model with nothing but a browser and just a thin client ubuntu computer. I first wrote about this in a framework but had proposed hosting the R Gui Rattle on the web. The framework proposed encrypting and compressing any data that is to be uploaded in order to overcome data hygiene objections at www.decisionstats.com. Li's plugin offers a great way to simplify data analysis for people who need to use statistical data in offices but dont have the background to learn it. This can also be used in the present economic environment for some companies to cut hardware and software costs by transitioning to R. I am not sure if this is the right list , but any other thoughts on mashing cloud computing and R.
