Dear developers, I just discovered rkward and am very impressed. I mostly write scripts but have used R Commander with students and look forward to suggesting rkward as well.
I have used the import_spss template to write an import_stata module. I changed the various options and flags from the read.spss() command to the read.dta() options. So far it is working for me, although it is possible that the code could be cleaned up. I'd be grateful for feedback or suggestions and will make changes that are within my limited programming capability. If the code is ok, maybe it can be included in the next release.
