proto (google code name r-proto) is an R package which facilitates
a style of programming known as prototype-based programming.
Prototype-based programming is a type of object oriented (OO)
programming in which classes and objects are unified into a single
concept, prototypes. This makes proto and prototye programming
simpler than the usual OO model yet it retains the OO features of
inheritance (known as delegation in the prototype model) and OO
dispatch. Applications, News, Additional Information sources, Proto
Bugs and Avoiding R Bugs sections are given below while associated

This is a line editing library. It can be linked into almost any program to
provide command-line editing and history. It is call-compatible with the FSF
readline library, but is a fraction of the size (and offers fewer features).
The editline library was created by Simmule Turner and Rich Salz back in 1992.
At the time they chose to distribute the code under a "C News-like" copyright,
see the file LICENSE for details.
The small size (<30k), lack of dependencies (no ncurses needed!) and the free
license should make this library interesting to many embedded developers
From the README:
Twisted is an event-based framework for Internet applications. It includes
a web server, a telnet server, a chat server, a news server, a generic
client and server for remote object access, and APIs for creating new
protocols and services. Twisted supports integration of the Tk, GTK+, Qt or
wxPython event loop with its main event loop. The Win32 event loop is also
supported, as is basic support for running servers on top of Jython.
Twisted is based on an unconventional and somewhat Twisted design philosophy.

This is a version of sed based on GNU sed. It is not a version of
GNU sed, though.
There are several new features (including in-place editing of files,
extended regular expression syntax and a few new commands) and some
bug fixes; see the NEWS file for a brief summary and the ChangeLog
for more detailed descriptions of changes.
The biggest note, i think is the *huge* speed difference, where
regular sed might take a few mins, super-sed can take only seconds
this is not true in all cases, and sometimes you have modify your
regexp syntax, however for the speed increase, it might be worth
it.
libnet is a collection of Perl modules which provides a simple
and consistent programming interface (API) to the client side
of various protocols used in the internet community.
For details of each protocol please refer to the RFC. RFC's
can be found a various places on the WEB, for a starting
point look at:
http://www.yahoo.com/Computers_and_Internet/Standards/RFCs/
The RFC implemented in this distribution are
Net::FTP RFC959 File Transfer Protocol
Net::SMTP RFC821 Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
Net::Time RFC867 Daytime Protocol
Net::Time RFC868 Time Protocol
Net::NNTP RFC977 Network News Transfer Protocol
Net::POP3 RFC1939 Post Office Protocol 3
"Named entities" is the NLP jargon for proper nouns which
represent people, places, organisations, and so on.
This module provides a very simple way of extracting these from a text.
If we run the "extract_entities" routine on a piece of news coverage of
recent UK political events, we should expect to see it return a list of
hash references looking like this:
{ entity => 'Mr Howard', class => 'person', scores => { ... }, },
{ entity => 'Ministry of Defence', class => 'organisation', ... },
{ entity => 'Oxfordshire', class => 'place', ... },
The additional "scores" hash reference in there breaks down the various
possible classes for this entity in an open-ended scale.

Download videos from various Flash-based video hosting sites, without
having to use the Flash player. Handy for saving videos for watching
offline, and means you don't have to keep upgrading Flash for sites
that insist on a newer version of the player.
YouTube, eHow, Brightcove (used by many sites like Channel 4, Daily
Telegraph ...), BBC (news, etc), Metacafe, 5min, Google, fliqz,
nicovideo, vimeo, Blip, Break, Collegehumor, Muzu, Sevenload,
Megavideo, Wat.tv. Also includes a 'generic' method which works on
many other sites.

The W3C Reference Library is a general code base that can be used to build
clients and servers. It contains code for accessing HTTP, FTP, Gopher, News,
WAIS, Telnet servers, and the local file system. Furthermore it provides
modules for parsing, managing and presenting hypertext objects to the user
and a wide spectra of generic programming utilities. The Library is the
basis for many World-Wide Web applications and all the W3C software is build
on top of it. The Library is a required part of all other W3C applications
in this distribution.
