Using R with FOSS4G, in particular with GRASS
Using GRASS in combination with R, the cross-platform data analysis and statistics
programming environment, is often useful, starting with running R within GRASS, then
encapsulating R within GRASS for standardised tasks. R contributed packages also use
other FOSS4G software extensively, including GDAL, OGR, PROJ.4, Terralib, and others:
* proposed topics:
o Installing R for FOSS4G/GRASS - task view and packages
o Spatial classes in R
o GRASS6/R interface
o Other FOSS4G/R interfaces (rgdal, aRT, ...)
o Using the interface to do geostatistics and interpolation
o Customising FOSS4G/GRASS-side scripts
