FYI/to the maintainers of r-forge: R-forge seems to be down: 1. http://r-forge.r-project.org/ gives minimal page "R-Forge Could Not Connect to Database:". 2. svn+ssh://<user name>@svn.r-forge.r-project.org/ - svn requests does not work. 3. ping svn.r-forge.r-project.org does indeed respond. /Henrik
