Request for R package: openintro

[Randall Pruim]

I'd like to request that the R package openintro be added to the list of packages available via the Sage Cell server.  This package contains data sets that support the OpenInto suite of statistics textbooks.

Also, I'm curious to know how/when packages are updated on the server.  I maintain some of those R packages, and I'm curious to know how long after a new version comes out it become available.

R used to be integrated with Sage, but it's now a completely optional package.
Only rpy2 is a part of installation.
I defer to the people who actually runs the server for details.

Given R Project resources, would it be willing to run a sage-cell server, with more emphasis on R/python/sage etc integration?

Best

openintro is installed

Regarding updates: security ones are installed once available, the rest is typically updated when a new version of Sage is released and the servers are rebuilt.

Having another server to send computations to would be great, both to increase load capacity and to provide backups in case some servers are having issues...
