Would you consider > including it on the resource page? Our netCDF software list is intended to provide brief descriptions of specific software useful to the netCDF community of scientific data providers, developers, and researchers who make use of netCDF data. It is not intended for marketing of companies that provide enterprise solutions for businesses, white papers, analytics services, or software aimed at other user communities. In particular, we don't want to dilute the content of that resource page with material not directly relevant to netCDF such as entries about R, statistics, big data analytics, data science, data mining or similar subjects. All those subjects are interesting, but they are not software specifically of interest to the netCDF community for manipulating or displaying netCDF data. If you still want to draft a short paragraph about what Revolution R Enterprise adds for netCDF users (other than the ncdf4 or RNetCDF packages already mentioned under the "R interface" entry) I'll consider adding it, but it would have to be consistent with the purpose and current tone of the web page, as described above. Thanks. --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: FTF-410107 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
