Hi,

one of the projects using Rcpp is the Bioconductor package mzR
(http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/mzR.html)

which is currently a thin wrapper around a subset 
of the information available in an mzML raw data file.

I'd be happy to mentor anyone who'd like to expand 
this coverage to provide a more complete binding  
of the C++ library http://sf.net/projects/proteowizard/

I hope this doesn't count as too much noise on the list.

Yours,
Steffen

Not at all -- I quite like the idea. 

It's only November and hence a bit early but maybe we should make a mental
note of Google Summer of Code 2013 so that by Feb/Mar/Apr we have a few topic
ideas and possible mentors to float, presumably within R Project allocation.
