Folks,
A nice new data resource has come up -- http://data.un.org/
I thought it would be wonderful to setup an R function like
tseries::get.hist.quote() which would be able to pull in some or all
of this data.
I walked around a bit of it and I'm not able to map the resources to
predictable URLs which can then be wget. There's some javascript going
on that I'm not understanding. Perhaps someone on the mailing list can
think about this?
