Hi Manuel,

I've taken the liberty of adding the r-help list back to this email, even though
you sent your reply just to me, so that others may contribute.

The "R Way" is to have many special-purpose packages: task views are very
useful to streamline installation. What specifically are you looking for that
what you're using doesn't provide?

I don't think there's a landscape package yet, just plans to create a landscape
package, although I have no idea what's it's intended to do.
