I added a couple of things listed below. I happy with the way this is

progressing so far.  It's nice to work on a project where everyone
uses org-mode.

additions:
- proposal for how we should implement the R-source-code blocks
- example of source code evaluation using org-eval-light.el
- notes section on evaluation of R code
- some scattered thoughts/suggestions

;;; Commentary:
;; This file is based off of org-eval, with the following changes.
;;
;; 1) forms are only executed manually, (allowing for the execution of
;; an entire subtree of forms)
;; 2) use the org-mode style src blocks, rather than the muse style
;; <code></code> blocks
;; 3) forms are not replaced by their outputs, but rather the output
;; is placed in the buffer immediately following the src block
;; commented by `org-eval-light-make-region-example' (when
;; evaluated with a prefix argument no output is placed in the
;; buffer)
;; 4) add defadvice to org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c so that when called inside of
;; a source block it will call `org-eval-light-current-snippet'

#+TITLE: rorg --- R and org-mode
#+SEQ_TODO: TODO PROPOSED | DONE DROPPED MAYBE
* Commentary
** Eric <2009-02-06 Fri 15:41>
I think we're getting close to a comprehensive set of objectives
(although since you two are the real R user's I leave that decision up
to you). Once we've agreed on a set of objectives and agreed on at
least to broad strokes of implementation, I think we should start
listing out and assigning tasks.

using [[file:existing_tools/org-R.el::defun%20org%20R%20export%20to%20csv%20csv%20file%20options][org-R-export-to-csv]].
**** org-exp-blocks
org-exp-blocks uses [[org-interblock-R-command-to-string]] to send
commands to an R process running in a comint buffer through ESS.
org-exp-blocks has no support for dumping table data to R process, or
vice versa.

** Evaluate R code from org and deal with output appropriately
*** vector output
When R code evaluation generates vectors and 2-dimensional arrays,
this should be formatted appropriately in org buffers (orgtbl-mode) as well
as in export targets (html, latex)
Agreed, if we can convert the vector data to lists then we can use
the many orgtbl-to-* functions to convert the list to whatever
output format we desire. See `orgtbl-to-orgtbl, `orgtbl-to-latex',
`orgtbl-to-html', `orgtbl-to-csv', etc...

** Evaluate R code on export
At first I was leaning towards leaving the exporting to Sweave, but it
seems that once we have evaluation or R working, it will not be
difficult to implement full evaluation of R blocks, one-liners, and
creation of R graphics on export directly in elisp.
I think that this would be worth the effort since it would eliminate
the need for using Sweave, and would allow for exportation to any
target format supported by org-mode.
* Notes
** Special editing and evaluation of source code in R blocks
Unfortunately org-mode how two different block types, both useful.

Note that upper and lower case are not relevant in block headings.
*** PROPOSED R-block proposal
I (Eric) propose that we use the syntax of source code blocks as they
currently exist in org-mode with the addition of *evaluation*,
*header-arguments*, *exportation*, *single-line-blocks*, and
*references-to-table-data*.
1) *evaluation*: These blocks can be evaluated through =\C-c\C-c= with
a slight addition to the code already present and working in
[[file:existing_tools/org-eval-light.el][org-eval-light.el]]. All we should need to add for R support would
be an appropriate entry in [[org-eval-light-interpreters]] with a
corresponding evaluation function. For an example usinga
org-eval-light see [[* src block evaluation w/org-eval-light]].
2) *header-arguments*: These can be implemented along the lines of
Austin's header arguments in [[file:existing_tools/RweaveOrg/org-sweave.el][org-sweave.el]].
3) *exportation*: Should be as similar as possible to that done by
Sweave, and hopefully can re-use some of the code currently present
in [[file:existing_tools/exp-blocks/org-exp-blocks.el ][org-exp-blocks.el]].
4) *single-line-blocks*: It seems that it is useful to be able to
place a single line of R code on a line by itself. Should we add
syntax for this similar to Dan's =#+R:= lines? I would lean
towards something here that can be re-used for any type of source
code in the same manner as the =#+begin_src R= blocks, maybe
=#+src_R=?
5) *references-to-table-data*: I get this impression that this is
vital to the efficient use of R code in an org file, so we should
come up with a way to reference table data from a single-line-block
or from an R source-code block. It looks like Dan has already done
this in [[file:existing_tools/org-R.el][org-R.el]].
What do you think? Does this accomplish everything we want to be able
to do with embedded R source code blocks?
**** src block evaluation w/org-eval-light
here's an example using org-eval-light.el
first load the org-eval-light.el file
[[elisp:(load (expand-file-name "org-eval-light.el" (expand-file-name "existing_tools" (file-name-directory buffer-file-name))))]]
then press =\C-c\C-c= inside of the following src code snippet. The
results should appear in a comment immediately following the source
code block. It shouldn't be too hard to add R support to this
function through the `org-eval-light-interpreters' variable.

have the advantage of accepting options to the Sweave preprocessor

** Interaction with the R process
We should take care to implement this in such a way that all of the
different components which have to interactive with R including:
- evaluation of source code blocks
- automatic evaluation on export
- evaluation of \R{} snippets
- evaluation of single source code lines
- sending/recieving vector data
I think we currently have two implementation of interaction with R
processes; [[file:existing_tools/org-R.el][org-R.el]] and [[file:existing_tools/exp-blocks/org-exp-blocks.el ][org-exp-blocks.el]]. We should be sure to take
the best of each of these approaches.
