1. There is a CRAN mirror at Bristol (roughly 100km from
Swansea?). They must have (or have had) some very active R users there.
2. Sundar Dorai-Raj and I developed a local R Archive Network
and subversion repository internal to a company where we used to work.
I believe that made it easier for us to collaborate and to share our
results with others. (See "Creating R Packages, Using CRAN, R-Forge,
And Local R Archive Networks And Subversion (SVN) Repositories",
available from CRAN -> Documentation: Contributed.) This is not the
first thing you should do, but I believe it can help build local
collaboration and awareness of R.
Hope this helps.

Dear R users,
we are currently trying to set up a R working group at Swansea
University.
I would be very grateful to get some information and feedback from R
users that have done something similar, in particular regarding:
- help with giving a general overview of what R is capable of
- help with what to present or teach (did you organise your own
training programme or did you get someone from outside?)
- are there people out there who would like to present their work to us?
Any help will be highly appreciated!
Thanks Joanne
