<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Cameron (cc all)<br>
<br>
Many thanks for the fast reply - I'll check that out and try to do
it through the formal channels, perhaps with some pointers from
Barry :-)<br>
<br>
To reply to your question, yes the R Project Overview and
Quickstart should be extended to also cover RStudio.<br>
<br>
I've spoken to Barry Rowlingson who wrote this and he's
encouraging me to get involved.<br>
<br>
This seems to be the file I'll need to modify:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc/blob/master/en/quickstart/R_quickstart.rst">https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc/blob/master/en/quickstart/R_quickstart.rst</a><br>
<br>
That documentation mission is the easy part for me - getting the
install script together will be the challenge - one I'm up for!<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
<br>
Robin<br>

Hi Robin,<br>
Great to hear of your interest in the use of OSGeo-Live. I'd
encourage you to add an entry about it here: <a
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_History">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_History</a><br>
<br>
Regarding including RStudio, from your description, it sounds like
it would be a good addition. We are too late to include it in the
next 9.0 release, however it could potentially be included in 9.5.<br>
<br>
The process for adding a new project is described here:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#How_to_add_a_project_to_OSGeoLive">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#How_to_add_a_project_to_OSGeoLive</a><br>
<br>
Further to that description, I'd be interested to hear advise on
whether RStudio should be included as a separate application to R,
or whether the R Project Overview and Quickstart should be
extended to also cover RStudio.<br>
<br>
Warm regards, Cameron<br>

One question: I tried to send an email to the OSGeo-live email
group requesting RStudio as a program but it seems to have
disappeared. Any ideas what happened to that email? Should I
raise this issue again? <br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

<pre>Dear list members,
I'd like to suggest the inclusion of RStudio in OSGeo Live:
<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/">https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/</a>
I've just tested 9.0 Beta and it works! (screenshot attached).
There are things we can do to make it more user friendly, crucial for
its uptake as a teaching resource.
One of those things is the addition of RStudio which makes life soooo
much easier for people using R.
(I have more more ideas but will keep them to myself for now - RStudio
would be the priority.)
Any comments? Happy to try adding it via GH if people with experience
point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Robin
