Indeed. Thanks everybody!

Either is fine with me (and the final decision is up to Stefan as the 
coordinator).

Good. I created a branch for that, as suggested by Prasenjit (currently 
empty). Check it out with

svn co https://rkward.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rkward/branches/jss_dec_10
or
svn co http://rkward.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rkward/branches/jss_dec_10

(https:// for read-write access, http:// for anonymous access).
After that it's the usual svn add / svn commit to upload your documents. You 
know the drill.

Side note, regarding copyright: Here's what the JSS-homepage has about that: 

"Copyright
The Journal of Statistical Software has chosen to apply the Creative Commons 
Attribution License to all articles we publish in this journal.  Under the 
CCAL, authors retain ownership of the copyright for their article, but authors

So no need for secrecy.

Looking forward to your outline!
