Dear Members of the R-Core Team, Rmetrics Developers, and Rmetrics Users ... The repository of the development version of the Rmetrics software environment has been moved to R-forge. The new R-Forge framework for R-project developers based on GForge offers us easy access to SVN, daily built and checked packages, mailing lists, bug tracking, message boards/forums, site hosting, a permanent file archival, and full backups. Thanks to the people who brought it up. Up to now the Rmetrics repository was hosted by the statistics institute at ETH Zurich with the generous help of Martin Maechler. He also helped us to move from Zurich to Vienna. Thanks to him for all his support and help during the last years. The responsibility for the new repository system administration will be taken by Yohan Chalabi. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in contact with him. Furthermore, Rmetrics will move this week to his new own home, the old link via "www.itp.phys.ethz.ch" will no longer be active due to the reorganisation of the ITP web server at ETH Zurich. Please use directly "www.rmetrics.org". Please note, the next workshop for R/Rmetrics developers and users Computational Finance and Financial Engineering R/Rmetrics User and Developer Workshop 2008 will be held at Meielisalp, Lake Thune, Switzerland, June 29th to July 3rd. For further information have a look on the announcements at "www.rmetrics.org". We would be very appreciated to welcome you at the Meielisalp.
