Hello All, So, after sending out the comments earlier in the list, giving suggestions for improvement to the R project, I went into hiding and started working on some of them. Most of the R web site stuff I have no control over, but I plan to work up a proposed site layout and a plan to add features for navigation improvements. Everyone will be free to comment on these when they are available. My first order of business was to improve the editing and usability of R. At first I thought about writing my own interface, but after using JEdit (http://www.jedit.org) and finding that I can add most of the features, and then some, that ESS provides very easily, I decided to just create plugins and support files for JEdit. What I have right now is a decent syntax edit mode for JEdit. Everyone can get it from the http://community.jedit.org/ and going to the downloads section. My plans for integration JEdit with R are as follows: 1) Improve syntax highlighting edit mode. 2) Create easy ways to run R scripts from within JEdit. 3) Provide R help file searching and browsing with JEdit Help support. 4) CodeAid support for R so you can have nice command/variable completion. 5) Possibly integrate R for Java from Omegahat. Everyone is free to check out both JEdit and the edit mode to see if they like it. JEdit is an excellent editor written in Java that provides a very nice editing interface, and is supported on many platforms (including Windows). It is fast, has excellent XML support, Java, C++, and allows you to extend it with Plugins and other things. Give it a try, and feel free to contact me if you have problems getting the RS.xml edit mode file working. More stuff to come... Zed A.
