RGoogleDocs is fantastic. It allows one to store data on Google and read it

  • 0

RGoogleDocs is fantastic. It allows one to store data on Google and read it in in real time to R. I tried to install it on a computer the other day and lo and behold all I could find was RGoogleData in RForge. What is the relationship between the two packages? I tried to google search RGoogleData and RGoogleDocs in the same search and found nothing. Duncan Temple Lang wrote RGoogleDocs and it appears that Adrian A. Dragulescu wrote RGoogleData.

I could have sworn that a windows binary of RGoogleDocs had been posted in omegahat by Duncan Temple Lang but alas in the past couple of months I no longer see omegahat on the select repository option list from RGUI. Instead RForge is now on that list. What is the relationship between omegahat and RForge?

    RGoogleDocs is on omegahat: http://www.omegahat.org/RGoogleDocs/
    RGoogleData is on RForge: http://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/rgoogledata/

    RForge is a sourceforge-like place for the development of R packages.
    Omegahat is more general, providing open-source software for statistical applications. That includes some R packages, but also software for other environments.

    R packages on both sites can be installed directly using install.packages() with the appropriate repos setting.
