Announcing release 0.9.6 of Rpad. This version provides bug fixes and
some improved HTML handling. This is also the first widespread release
that supports Rpad as an installed package within R.

Rpad is an interactive, web-based analysis system. Rpad pages are
interactive workbook-type sheets based on R. Rpad is an analysis
package, a web-page designer, and a gui designer all wrapped in
one. Rpad makes it easy to develop powerful data analysis applications
that can be shared with others (most likely on an intranet).

Rpad is a new type of application like Google's gmail where the
browser page is dynamically updated with R calculations (Ajax is the 
latest buzzword for this).

Rpad can be installed in two ways: (1) local package and (2) server
style. The server version uses Apache (or other web server) to serve
up web pages and act as an R calculation engine. In the local version,
Rpad is installed as an R package, and it uses a builtin mini web
server to serve Rpad pages to your local browser.

You can try demos of Rpad at: http://www.rpad.org/Rpad

Here are two basic demos that show how it's used:

Here are two of the fancier demos that show off interactivity using
Rpad (in these examples, the R code is hidden by default):
