Oh yeah, having R support would be indeed very nice (as it would be to have GRASS support). Afaik there are two challenges to overcome. The first is technical, about the communication between a Java based process and R. I think there is something around but not sure what the maintainance status The second is resourcing: new developments happen when either there is something that needs it that can also code, or when someone shows up with funding geared towards a professional GeoServer supporter (see the commercial support page). As far as I know at the moment we don't have neither the first, nor the second, but we can hope that will happen sometimes soon in the future :-) Cheers Andrea ----------------------------------------------------- Ing.
