Hi Adri?n

Looks impressive. Something like this might be useful for potential
new users, so they could try some things without committing themselves
to installing anything. If that is your audience I would add a few
hints to the page about examples to try.

Are you planning to allow data files to be uploaded? Currently, users'
data can be read in from URLs.

I think it would be good to use the HTML help system, if possible,
rather than plain text.

Obviously a system like this could quickly be overwhelmed if it it
became at all popular... I assume you are running R processes inside
'nice' or somesuch.

All the best, and good luck,
-Felix

Hi Adrian, 


Are you aware of RWeb: http://bayes.math.montana.edu/Rweb/Rweb.general.html

Very similar to your project. Although it doesn?t seem to be working at the moment. 

Wayne
