Persistant user-specific variables

[Mike]

Hello group,

Firstly, great work Jeffrey on the Rook package.

One question I have if anyone has any ideas - is how to store
persistant user-specific variables (or something to this effect), to
be used for storing user credentials.

I imagine clever use of cookies may be a workaround (or waiting for
rApache integration), but I wondered if there was a more tidy Rook
solution.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for the comments, Mike.

Consider Rook as a base layer upon which other frameworks can be
built. For instance, Hadley has stated that he'll be porting his
sinartra package to Rook, and John Verzani also has a framework of
sorts with his gWidgetsWWW package which he just ported to Rook.

So, something like a django or a ruby on rails for R is needed. That's
a good place to think about session management, database abstraction,
etc.
