Would you be interested in testing an R package for receiving market data from Thomson Reuters?

Hi Folks, We are currently developing a package, called the Coherent Datafeed, for accessing real-time market data from Thomson Reuters using the R Project for Statistical Computing. I'd like to ask the members in this group if they would like to help test this software? If you're interested in helping, it would be nice if you could follow the Twitter account we have set up for this (@CoherentMktData), and we'll let you know when it's available (should be late Q3 or early Q4 of this year); the link below includes more information. http://www.coherentlogic.com/wordpress/?page_id=1575 If you don't use Twitter, you can always respond to this discussion, or send an email, and let me know. You will need to have a Thomson Reuters account in order to use this software.
You will also need a license to use the Coherent Datafeed package, correct? Will the license for beta-testers continue to be free after the product is launched?
If you're reading this and you don't use Thomson Reuters, but like the
idea and would like a package written for another datafeed provider,
please do let me know as this would be very helpful information (we're
planning to write a package for Bloomberg too).
Questions and comments are welcomed.
Thanks,
Tom

I am a bit confused about what one would need to pay for in the end, after the free testing. Does the "Coherent Datafeed package" include re-licencing of the API code from Reuters (possibly something from https://customers.reuters.com/developer/choosingtherightapi.aspx), or is that needed too, so the package is just the R part of the mix? I'm guessing it does not actually include data, for which one would need to pay Reuters? Paul

Hi Joshua, Thanks for your questions. Re: "You will also need a license to use the Coherent Datafeed package, correct?" This is correct. "Will the license for beta-testers continue to be free after the product is launched?" It's not our intention to keep this free forever for beta testers, and once the product goes to production it would make sense (IMO, of course) for users who continue to get value from it to convert to paying customers. Does this help? Tom Thomas P.
