[Rd] R Newsletter: 1st Call for Articles

[Yves Gauvreau]

This is a very nice idea. I would have a problem tough with the Latex format
you require. I'm almost certain that to most Windows user, Latex is as bad
news as a foreign language you know nothing about. Would there be an
alternative to please every body?
