Hello to all project developers, 

I am pleasantly surprised with the development of a GUI for R.

However, I believe that the biggest target audience is centered around the various
Office packages. Therefore, I am convinced that an integration into a spreadsheet
program would be a welcomed and strategic step.

I have begun lobbying this idea on the OpenOffice forums (see
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=66589) and also started to expand
and develop the statistical wiki page (see
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Statistical_Data_Analysis_Tool), focusing
havily on R integration.

I, and the various contributors to that wiki page, lack however the programming
skills to implement this. I would therefore welcome any help in getting this
job started.

The OpenOffice developers begun with OOo 2.04 to extend the plugin architecture
of OOo. It seems therefore not necessary anymore to code this directly into
OOo core, but I believe it would be possible to take an alternative - and much
more flexible - approach and implement it as an external component/plugin. Let
me encourage you to take this idea into consideration.

I would be very grateful for any further ideas and suggestions. The statistical
wiki page needs also a major revision and if there are any critical comments,
I would welcome them, too.

Kind regards,

Leonard Mada
