I've been experimenting a bit with the tcltk package and plan to explore 
using it to provide a GUI to some of the basic statistical functionality in 
S. The attraction of TCL/TK is that it's open source and available for all 
of the platforms supported by R.

 From the brief descriptions above, what I have in mind is probably closest 
to Kurt Hornik's project. I'm applying for a small grant to begin work in 
the Spring of 2003, so it will be a while before I have anything tangible.

Regards,
  John
