R/S-related projects on Sourceforge? Trove Categorization

3 messages · Ernesto Jardim, Wolski

Hi R-Users and Developers,

Several months ago I made a request on Sourceforge to add the R/S - 
programming language to the _Trove_ categorization. ("The Trove is a 
means to convey basic metainformation about your project.")

Today I got the following response of one of the sourceforge admins.

<SNIP>

SourceForge.net will consider the inclusion of a programming
language within the Trove system when we host at least 5
projects based on that language.  Please advise: Do you know
of 5 projects hosted on SourceForge.net based on this language?
<SNIP>


If anyone of you knew about R-packages, or projects using the R/S programming language, which are hosted on sourceforge, please reply to this thread. I hope that your answers will enable me to give more then 5 examples of R projects hosted on Sourceforge.

Yours Eryk


Ps.

The ID of my original "feature request"  on Sourceforge is 967697.

Hi,

I have 2 _small_ projects hosted in sf.net that use R 

FLR :: R for fisheries science (http://flr.sf.net)
fsap: fish stock assessment for R (http://sf.net/projects/fsap)

The first one is getting some hip and the second is dying ...

Hope it helps.

Regards

EJ

Sorry if I have missed any. But it is surely more than five.

Thanks all of you for your numerous response and also for some more 
general thoughts concerning
*collaboratory* development using source code repositories:
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2004-November/031398.html.
If I see how R is evolving I believe that this ideas will be realized soon.
Especially that there are already repositories covering some of the 
functionality and dedicated to R --  Bioconductor  with a svn archive. 
Unfortunately, as I was told by Geff Gentry the costs of administering 
the svn, cvs servers are high, hence the number of developers must be 
limited. Also CRAN has some of the functionality but the svn or cvs 
support is missing.
Luckily hosting the sources on e.g. sourceforge and the builds on CRAN 
or Bioconductor gives already some of the essential functionality.

Therefore at this place big thanks to the Bioconductor, CRAN and 
sourceforge people.
