Dear list, Following off-list discussion with Graham Smith (who initiated the initial request for a task view on this topic) and Philippe Grosjean I have produced a Task View for ecological and environmental data analysis. Graham and Philippe commented on a earlier draft and it is now in a shape suitable for public scrutiny. I have placed a mock-up of the html version of a task view page at the URI below and would welcome your comments and suggestions before I submit it to Achim Zeileis for inclusion in the ctv package. http://ecrc3.geog.ucl.ac.uk/download/taskview/ I will now be out of the office for a week and am not sure what email availability I will have so it may take a little while for me to reply to and act on any suggestions you might make. I would like to thank Graham and Philippe for encouraging me to maintain this view and for their helpful suggestions. All the best, Gavin
