hi,

thanks for the feedback!. i also have some rather general questions on this:

 - would it be a better solution to split things into smaller entities, i.e. 
   separate the ANOVA from the t-tests and have two plugins (rk.ANOVA could
   still draw in the other as a dependency)?

 - should plugin requirements better be handled as package suggestions (not 
   dependencies)? ez really needs a few other packages, but we could postpone
   the actual installation "RKWard-like" to the moment when you're actually 
   running a dialog for the first time. that way, you could have a quick look 
   at new plugins without installing everything it could probably use.

 - should we recommend some sort of naming scheme for pure plugin packages, 
   so they're easier to recognize in the R libs directory? i used "rk.*" on 
   this one, but it could also be "RKWard.*", "Rk*" "rkward*" or whatever.

cool, done. "current_object" is only mentioned as an example in the docs, 
isn't it?

in theory yes, i can add some logic to set "required" only if within is not 
empty. but ezANOVA currently seems to have a bug here:
 o https://github.com/mike-lawrence/ez/issues/1
so, i can only really test this when 3.0.1 is out.

yeah, i'm not really happy with that either. maybe i should also add a 
between/within/mixed model chooser to not bloat the dialog. the multi-varslots 
occupy a lot of space if they're not needed.

sure, done.

sounds good, will just take a little time.

ok, that was an issue in rkwarddev (rk.JS.doc()), will be fixed in 0.04-2 (is 
in svn).

yes, for my taste the header fonts are much to huge, compared to the normal 
font size. could need some tuning, indeed.

totally makes sense.
