Dear R fans ( and wiki fans), I am just writing a draft to introduce confidence intervals of various "effect sizes" to my students. Surely, I'll recommend the package MBESS in R. Currently, it means I have to recommend R's interface at first. As a statistics teacher in a dept of psychology, I often have to reply why not to teach SPSS. Psychologists and their students hate to memorize codes, or even to call any function with a list of parameters. I know if I have an online R platform with a wiki html-form design, I can bypass the function calls and headache parameters to expose the power of R. Rcmdr and its plugins help some, but students like to remember just one menu structure in the SPSS textbook. A wiki interface means they can search and find a complete example in psychology, with self-explained parameter inputs and outputs.
Do I actually dream a wikipedia with front forms and back R? Most R fans are wiki fans, but not vice verse. So, I think I should talk my dream here rather than at wikipedia. If you know it had been a practice rather than an idea, please tell me where to write my teaching interface.
