During this day, I was trying a new approach to build a web interface for our R scripts. It turned out that Ruby is not gonna do the job we are seeking
because there might not be a way for interactivity in it. We need to have Ruby on Rails, and this might not lead to a solution too, because RinRuby is
designed for Ruby, and I don't know if it can work with Ruby on Rails. No one has tried this before.
So I decided to look into different approaches, and there is something called Rpad and Rwui. Rwui is a good package but after playing around with it,
I found out that this is not what we need, because I think that it does not support more than one web page in our website. Rpad sounds promising, but there is not enough
information about it, because its website (www.rpad.org) has been down for a couple of weeks. Today, i did not get anywhere in Rpad, so I emailed the owner of Rpad Dr. Tom Short,
and I will be waiting for his reply.

Let's try first...
ReplyDeleteOK - so it seems to work :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, defnitely look at other available software. You know our ultimate goal. So whatever free software is suitable to lead to this goal would be fine with me. Of course, keep in mind that this needs to be installed on the computers of our medical collaborators and therefore does not require any complicated installation procedures.
