Howdy!
PSPP sounds like a great idea, I look forward to seeing it realized.
I'm wondering if you folks have considered using R
(http://www.r-project.org/) as the statistical engine of PSPP, with
PSPP providing an SPSS-style user interface? this could potentially
speed up development of pspp, in terms of providing stats, and could
make R a lot more user friendly for people used to SPSS (e.g., most
research psychologists). R has been adapted to be call-able from within
perl, for example, so I am pretty sure that what I am suggesting is
feasible (no idea how easy, of course). R is widely respected, and has
a strong and active development base.
just an idea,
--Jeremy
