[rkward-devel] [JSS-Announce] Special issue on GUI's for R

[Stefan Rödiger]

Okay I'll try to take over the lead position. I have to admit that I'm working 
currently on two papers … but let's see how far we get.

So far we have in the boat:

Thomas (some content, advise, comments)
Meik (content, writing)
Matthieu (feedback)
Detlef (content, writing)
Prasenjit (writing on statistical terms, graphics) 
Stefan (content, writing, coordination)

That sounds healthy.

Regarding the processor from my own experience OOo was the better tool when 
working with several people. Line numbering, plain format, change tracking, 
grammar and spell check, graphical arrangement are some not to underestimate 
benefits. From odt to tex is an comparable easy transition when a paper is in 
the final shape content wise. However, I'm also open for tex if all consent. 
SVN sounds good to me.

For the planning:
1) I'll try to make an outline till Friday (02.07.2010) next week (or 
earlier). Then I'll sent it to you.
2) We discuss the outline (topics/chapter, needed figures, …)
3) We'll strip down the paper in sections and start corresponding documents.
4) Fill the parts with content (either person wise or in a certain order).

More to come.

Regards
Stefan
