Actually, we'll be discussing tools to make packages in general that can work
in both S-PLUS and R, and also how to make some S-PLUS-only libraries
available in an open-source environment as well as working with package
authors to port R packages to work in S-PLUS.

We'll be discussing this in detail at the S-PLUS User Conference, but I'd
also welcome any thoughts package authors and package users might have about
making packages widely available in both S-PLUS and R environments.  I'll
summarize emails sent to me to this list.
