[Rd] Lessons from LibreOffice project

[Prof J C Nash (U30A)]

The message below came to me from the Getting Open Source Logic INto 
Government list. I'm passing it on to the devel list as the infoworld 
article may have some ideas of relevance to the R project, mainly 
concerning build and test issues and tracking changes in the code base. 
While the LibreOffice project is very different from R, there may 
nevertheless be some tips we can borrow in the best open source 
tradition. FWIW, the article is quite short.
