[Live-demo] R Studio on OSGeo Live

[Robin Lovelace]

Hi Cameron (cc all)

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 :-)

To reply to your question, yes the R Project Overview and Quickstart 
should be extended to also cover RStudio.

I've spoken to Barry Rowlingson who wrote this and he's encouraging me 
to get involved.

This seems to be the file I'll need to modify: 
https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc/blob/master/en/quickstart/R_quickstart.rst

That documentation mission is the easy part for me - getting the install 
script together will be the challenge - one I'm up for!

All the best,

Robin
