[RkWard-devel] Project revived - RKWard 0.2.0 is out

[Thomas Friedrichsmeier]

Hi!

For those still subscribed to the list:
As you recall, I announced the project to be dead some one and a half years 
ago, saying I left in favor for the obversive project. That project suffered 
the fate of many other OSS-projects - the developers simply did not have 
enough free time to get the project to a useful state. No development 
happened on obversive since more than a year.
Last week I felt like trying out a few concepts about R-embedding and turned 
back to the RKWard codebase. Within relatively short time I got fairly far 
and so I went on and prepared a new release.
The most noteable change is that RKWard now uses a PHP-backend for the 
plugins. GUI-settings are converted to R-code using the full power of PHP. 
Further PHP allows me to process the R-output with relative easy and generate 
fancy HTML-output.
Hence, while RKWard still is nowhere near useable, one more important piece - 
the generation of nice formatted output - is now in place (while of course a 
lot will still be changed). The new release may give you a better picture of 
what RKWard might one day become.
If you're still interested, please have a look at the new release and tell me 
what you think. Of course I'm also still highly interested in attracting 
further developers. So, if you like what you see, and you would like to get 
involved, please contact me.
