[postgis-users] Windows installers for PostGIS 1.5.0 and PL/R

[Jan Hartmann]

Somewhat off topic, has anyone ever worked with Rattle 
(http://rattle.togaware.com/)? It's a visual front end for R, mainly 
directed at data mining (http://www.togaware.com/datamining/survivor/) . 
It's an interesting way of getting novice users into the complexities of 
R. I could imagine something like this would be very useful for a 
PostGIS/R enabled database, but it would mean a lot of work to integrate 
all the diverse packages. Perhaps people with more experience in making 
software interoperable could have a look at it?
