Then, take a look at the tcltk2 package in the SciViews bundle (probably, in the next version, I will take it out of the bundle). You have there tile (themable widgets with notebook tabs, progress bar, and many more... and very soon combo boxes and lists/trees). You have also the famous tkTable, and a separate combobox and a tree, and a support for tooltips everywhere... Just propose if you need more! All this runs under Windows, but I still got problems to compile it under other platforms. > I doubt that many list > members would look favourably on the statistical-methods > "decision tree" in MicrOsiris, for example.

I tend to have the same opinion than John (although I thing that both a good manual, and a better online help could be beneficial): a PDF manual is much more readable than a wiki! Why not to propose PDF manuals in the \doc section of CRAN which have a GNU Free Documentation License (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html), so that the manual could be progressively enhanced by many authors?
