We are very pleased that an R project has been selected as one of the GNU projects for the Google Summer of Code 2006 (http://code.google.com/soc/).

Miguel Angel R. Manese, an M.S. Statistics student at the University of the Philippines, will be working with Douglas Bates and Brian Ripley on a project entitled `SQLite Data Frames for R' to let R store very large datasets in an SQLite database transparently, implementing primitive operations for data stored in SQLite so that they behave exactly like ordinary data frames to the users. It is likely that the project will result in the first instance in an R package (which may in due course become part of the tarball).

Congratulations, Miguel!
