I should have read the following page on R_Extension_for_MediaWiki

Has anybody seen an <Rform>...</Rform> online example page in English?

I really wish wiki.r-project.org be equipped with parameter input
interfaces and convenient R codes submit choices. Any donated Rweb,
Rcgi or other R server can be the redirected server-side and the
professional security burden can be avoided for wiki.r-project.org

Yes. Another option that was considered was to write a Sweave driver for the wiki pages. However, in any cases, there are serious security issues. Unless I am helped by an expert in this field, I don't feel confident enough to add that functionality in http://wiki.r-project.org.

One solution I could provide is a wiki R package with various utility functions. One of them would be a function to extract R code from given wiki pages in a text editor. Then, the user could run this code while keeping full control of the way the code is executed (locally, on his machine).

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However  wikis are a bit outdated.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:
