<p>Hi All -</p>
<p> </p>
<p> Coincidentally, I met with Scott Chamberlain from ropensci.org at length
yesterday.. Scott is interested in seeing the R environment for OSGeo Live, and
would like to potentially add some WKT support to his current work. Please
contact Scott directly if you would like to follow up on this.</p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p>best regards </p>

<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" target="">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>

<blockquote><meta> 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 class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_History" target="">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 class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#How_to_add_a_project_to_OSGeoLive" target="">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

<br><br><pre>Dear list members,
I'd like to suggest the inclusion of RStudio in OSGeo Live:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/" target="">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
