Thanks for replying so quickly!

R support would fill a need in the community I support (epi). Happy to 
discuss more, right now in the prototyping and planning phase (distributed 
pathogen tracking system).

And thanks for sharing those resources! I will need to take a look more, 
and am happy to both get my hands dirty and get any additional guidance 
that's easily provided/readily available.

Jim
