Hello,

For those interested, I've uploaded a new version of gWidgetsWWW (0.0-8) to 
CRAN. This package allows one to make interactive web pages built in R 
using the gWidgets API. This version has some big changes:

* The web to R interface is now down through RApache. Hopefully this 
makes the whole setup much more secure and stable. (RApache runs 
natively under Linux and Mac OS X, and can be run virtualized to
run under windows.)

* The issue with pages not being rendered in Internet Explorer has 
  been addressed

* Some new widgets, gcanvas and gsvg, for using some alternative 
  devices on web pages

* A new means to add a web page simply by placing the R script file 
  into a directory

Some examples are found at

The whole package is still basically untested in any real-world setting 
and should be considered alpha quality. Any feedback is welcome.
