R packages concerning epidemiology in Debian

[Andreas Tille <tillea@rki.de>]

Hello,

I would like to inform the authors of R packages concerning
epidemiological research that their packages are now included officially
in the Debian GNU/Linux distribution.  This effort was undertaken by
the Debian Med project to provide support for epideiologists as one
important field of medical care.

Here you can find an overview of packages relevant for epidemiology we
were just able to include into Debian:

    http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/epi

If you as the experts might know some further interesting free projects
which might fit into the needs of epidemiological research just let us
know to at least put it on our todo list.

Please also let us know what you think about the Debian Med effort to
build a framework for medical care by collecting Free Software of
different fields in medicine as ready to install packages in Debian.
Do you think this effort is useful and how do you think we might do
better.

Kind regards and thanks for providing epidemiological software

       Andreas.
