Actually Martin had written in his email requesting the DNS entry for
the wiki that the machine hosting the wike "will be available soon"
and I was waiting for an email that this had happened.

Martin or Philippe: Is everything up and running or are you still in a
"testing phase"?

Best,
Fritz

It is still in testing phase.
Philippe has a few things he wants to put in shape before "prime-time".

Martin

http://wiki.r-project.org is quite recent and not widely advertised yet 
because I want to finialize features and beta test them with a limited 
number of enthousiast people *before* making more publicity about it.

It is dedicated to the kind of collaborative documentation that Victor 
Anyakin is asking for. Indeed, it is already available to everybody, 
i.e., those who use Google ;-)
Best,

Philippe Grosjean

Try http://wiki.r-project.org  (which you might have guessed or Googled: 
it came up as the first item for me).

You might want to report to the webmaster of www.r-project.org where you 
looked for a link to this and failed to find one.   (Both the webmaster 
and the host machine have moved recently (or the machine is about to), so
various planned changes are delayed by the moves.)

This is an enhancement request,

probably, some sort of a Wiki engine could be installed on the web site, 
or some other system, which would cover some basic information about 
various aspectes of R.

Currently, I am trying to find some information about GUI application
development on R. A number of various projects use wiki's to provide such
information to the new or experienced users.

Well, see the `Writing R Extensions' manual, the `Related Projects' link 
on CRAN which links to a page on GUIs (and that links to another 
mainifestation of the same Wiki).
