[SoC] QGIS-R map project

[Helmut Kudrnovsky]

Dear Barry,

thank you very much for your ideas of a QGIS-R map project.

just found this some time ago:

RQGIS - integrating R with QGIS: https://github.com/jannes-m/RQGIS

maybe something similar?

>At this point do I just need to add a line to the Mentors table on the
>wiki page?

please prepare a nice idea wiki page, joined with the QGIS team, (examples
e.g. https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/GSoC/2017 ,
https://github.com/geopython/pycsw/wiki/OSGeo-GSoC#2017, ...)  and send the
link to our GSoC admin team via gsoc-admin at osgeo.org.

We will then put it on the
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2017_Ideas.

Kind regards
Helmut
