I've used the netmeeting approach, very similar, but it suffered from "screen drag" and slow connections. I would think that a Wiki that would let you evaluate R code might be a bit hazardous. I'm assuming standard/high security precautions so that you don't have to worry about external attacks or DOS, but the concern would be typing things unintentionally or that get partially hidden (html comments that the R code sees, for example), with unintended circumstances resulting. best, -tony -- A.J.
