I got a shock a few days ago when I accidentally visited www.r-project.com . I thought that the r-project site had been hacked until I realised my mistake. There is also a site www.r-project.net. Both of these sites appear to be Japanese. Does anyone know anything about them? I suppose that it is not unusual for names close to those of popular sites to be used. It is good that they use a different language or there might well be confusion.

To add to the confusion, there is some statistical software for multivariate and spatial analysis called "the R package". http://www.fas.umontreal.ca/biol/casgrain/en/labo/R/index.html Although this link appears to be broken at the moment.

I thought that the r-project site had been hackedThis one seems to be about some sort of city revival projects in Japan. (The introduction starts with "Recycle, Redesign, Rethink, Refine, Restore, Recreation...". I can't read Japanese, but just guessing from the Chinese characters that were sprinkled in the text.> until I realised my mistake. There is also a site www.r-project.net.No indication what this is about. Seems to say the site is still under construction. Andy> Both of these sites appear to be Japanese.
