For the moment you can find a sample dataset here:

http://www.faunalia.it/animov/scripts/sample.csv

I'll provide a on-board dataset in the near future, together with a little tutorial.
(why, why windows doesn't use slashes as separators? portability is a _headache_!!)

I'm sure that, with present revision, on Windows systems the plugin can't find
the R scripts needed for analysis. I'll solve it next week. Let me know if on
Mac there are similar problems.

many thanks!
