 Priority:  normal       |  Milestone:  OSGeoLive12.0
Component:  LiveDVD      |   Keywords:  R, quickstart

 Actually self-teaching R, I can see in tutorials and articles some
 possibilities of R for cartography and in a GIS point of view.

 When I saw things like the Cartography package :
 https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/cartography/vignettes/cartography.html

 Or what it is possible to do with ggplot2:
 http://r4ds.had.co.nz/data-visualisation.html

 I think we can improve the actual quickstart (which had issues in 10.5 and
 11.0 releases) and make it more appealing.

 GIS workflow needs data acquisition, manipulation and visualisation and
 that can be made in R like in GRASS, QGIS or postGIS.

 I can work on it with Tina Cormier and Etienne Delay who volunteered to
 help us.
