<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello-</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> There's a new Debian Guide
thatīs still in the making, although some of it is already available on-line,
called the DURG (Debian User Reference Guide).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> One of it's writers is
interested to know if someone (preferably a Debian user, I guess) could write a
subsection on R for the section Science.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> It should contain:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> <FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3><FONT face=Arial size=2>- a brief introduction,<BR> -
one or more simple examples,<BR> - a comment on
usability.<BR> Especially the last item needs some
experience</FONT>. <FONT face=Arial size=2>As I don't consider myself proficient
enough in using R, I'm not volunteering at this moment. I did have this little
part in it, when I wrote about R's existence to the people developing the manual
:-) This manual, by the way, intends to go a bit deeper the other
ones.</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Is anyone interested? Write to
me privately and I will put you in contact with the DURG writer on Science, or
you can look him up yourself in the Debian site (doc section).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I think this is a great
opportunity to make people see that Linux has all the good stuff one needs, and
to make R more widely known.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Best regards,</FONT></DIV>
