Dirk, my apologies, i accidentally sent it to rccp-devel instead of r-devel. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jan 20, 2013 at 1:57 PM, Dirk Eddelbuettel <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:edd@debian.org" target="_blank">edd@debian.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div></div>i) These exist, and have existed for a long time. Duncan Temple Lang alone is<br>
probably involved in half a dozen packages related to this. Try Google<br>
search for RGoogleDocs, ROAuth, and more. Moreover, entire AMIs (for<br>
Amazon's cloud service) can also be had, look at the BioConductor site.<br>
<br>
ii) This has nothing to do with Rcpp so I suggest we stop the thread here.<br>
