I believe this is heavy stuff to do without creating the code by
yourself and then maintaining that code. I feel this is really too much
work... We are now starting with the design phase for R connection, but
we will use the R - Grass bindings, which are already there. That means
that we will be able to work with GRASS rasters and vectors and R, but
the major work will be in the Rserve.
I know, this is not much scientifical spoke :), it's just what I think
for now, in the next weeks I will hopefully know more. It would be good
to talk in these weeks, to see what the one or the other would like to
do with those connection to R.
