RStudio does exist in RPM form but the packages are made via 'cmake' rather than by Fedora's process, and the server's using the old school /etc/init.d rather than systemd. R Commander's much easier - you just have to package it's dependencies and deploy its desktop file.

I don't have a personal interest in RStudio, but I do support users that rave about it.  While not entirely enthusiastic about taking on packages when I don't have much experience using the software, it wouldn't be so bad to get things rolling with a comaintainer that does have that experience.  Bonus, its one more thing to check off my "We can't use Linux because...." list.

What do you say, Ed?  If I get the package review done, will you help with bugs and maintenance?
