Re: [R] Dream of a wiki GUI for R
Hi ohri: Thanks for your introduction of knol. I am testing it now. I can't google out the Google Docs plugin for sending R output directly to the Docs. Is it something like R(D)COM? My point is to adopt html FORM elements (input boxes, checks,...) into any wiki platform. R-php, R-cgi or others now provide convenient server sides. The aim is scarcely to teach R or statistical procedures, but to help lay end users to reach transparent statistical results without bothering who, or whether R, or how it is doing the server side job. Google docs' FORM file-type feeds result into a google spreadsheet. If such a form and its result page could be implemented in a wiki page side by side, with R functions support, it is my dream. Does anybody see a wiki page with an interacting input box? or with javascript or any scripts to be collaborated in a wiki style?

Re: [R] Dream of a wiki GUI for R
That's not the catch, the catch is that there is no editorial control (for the lack of a better word) or quality control, which allows every nincompoop to write authoritative knols as evidenced on the web site. I am also quite sure that they place and check cookies to increase their knowledge about users, like they do with all their other web sites and chrome. (Not that it bothers me much, personally...)
