Somewhat off topic, has anyone ever worked with Rattle
(http://rattle.togaware.com/)? It's a visual front end for R, mainly
directed at data mining (http://www.togaware.com/datamining/survivor/) .
It's an interesting way of getting novice users into the complexities of
R. I could imagine something like this would be very useful for a
PostGIS/R enabled database, but it would mean a lot of work to integrate
all the diverse packages. Perhaps people with more experience in making
software interoperable could have a look at it?

The PostGIS 1.5.0 windows installer is now up on Stack Builder.
New major change to it is that it is packaged with the shp2pgsql-gui
graphical shape file loader which allows you to import shapefiles directly
from PgAdmin III and reads the connection settings of your selected database
automagically :).
For PostgreSQL 8.4 users, this should automatically enable itself as a
plugin in the PgAdmin III packaged with PostgreSQL 8.4 if you select "Yes"
to the new prompt.
If you happen to use a windows desktop (and are using PgAdmin 1.10+) , but
have your PostgreSQL installed on a separate server (Linux or Windows) or
you are running only PostGIS 1.4 or lower, you can still use the plugin
By downloading it separately from
http://www.postgis.org/download/windows/ (PostGIS Shp2PgSQL Graphical
Loader)
Or alternatively just copy the postgisgui folder (from bin of a PostgreSQL
windows install) and overwrite your PgAdmin III plugins.ini with the
plugins.postgis.ini included in the PostgreSQL/.../PgAdminIII/ folder
On a slightly unrelated note: Mike Leahy was gracious enough to package a
PL/R windows installer for 8.3 and 8.4. Those who've been waiting for PL/R
to work again on PostgreSQL windows -- wait no longer.
For those who have been thinking of a good execuse toe start writing PL/R
stored functions, give it a try. Its great and a great companion for
PostGIS.
Those unfortunately are not available on Stack Builder, but you can download
them from:
