Hello,
Just to add to what Ajay said: the http://wiki.r-project.org does not
execute R code from within wiki pages. This is a choice for security
reasons. However, there are ways to get R code from R wiki pages and run
it in R: http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=tips:misc:wikicode
Also, there is a discussion about integrating Sweave in wiki pages:
http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=developers:latex2wiki.
If someone would like to start a "teaching stats with R" topic on the R
wiki and organize a section for this, he is more than welcome to make a
proposal (send it to me).
Best,
Philippe Grosjean

Hi Tobias,
It makes sense from a practical view point. SAS Institute funds its own wiki
at www.sascommunity.org The catch is they have editorial influence and can
use offerings there for commercial purposes.
The surprising thing is you can actually create a wiki in wikipedia itself.
Just adopt a convention lets say Rproj for beginning of each wiki page.
Note this would mean volunteers parsing the back and forth of messages into
structure ( maybe it exists already)
However wikis are a bit outdated. The latest is knol.google.com as it gives
you the right to make document editable, or allow comments, or even what
kind of license you want content to be shared. The catch again is its owned
by Google , the big company.
Other options from Google include Google Docs as well as Google Sites.You
can even create bulk Google Docs from a writely email that your
docs.google.com account gives you, and just last week someone created a
Google Docs plugin for sending R output directly to the Docs.
As you may have noticed and I have pointed out once the R -project website
itself is badly outdated compared to the software itself. The official R
wiki of course is here
http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php
So these are the options - noting that email groups are more easy to use and
addictive , though not the best for collobrative knowledge storage over a
period of time.

Ajay

Hi,
I am just writing a draft to introduce confidence intervals of various
"effect sizes" to my students. Surely, I'll recommend the package
MBESS in R. Currently, it means I have to recommend R's interface at
first. As a statistics teacher in a dept of psychology, I often have
to reply why not to teach SPSS. Psychologists and their students hate
to memorize codes, or even to call any function with a list of
parameters. I know if I have an online R platform with a wiki
html-form design, I can bypass the function calls and headache
parameters to expose the power of R. Rcmdr and its plugins help some,
but students like to remember just one menu structure in the SPSS
textbook. A wiki interface means they can search and find a complete
example in psychology, with self-explained parameter inputs and
outputs.
Do I actually dream a wikipedia with front forms and back R? Most R
fans are wiki fans, but not vice verse. So, I think I should talk my
dream here rather than at wikipedia. If you know it had been a
practice rather than an idea, please tell me where to write my
teaching interface.
Some have had similar dreams:
