[ADMB Users] Volunteer needed: ADMB, Windows & R user

[Mollie Brooks]

My perspective is that some efforts can be accomplished quickly and others will take a lot longer. R2admb is almost fully functioning for my purposes which align with issue (i) from the list below. The second item will likely progress at a slower pace because it is a more difficult task and I applaud those who can do it.

I am doing a lot of work using this package and would like for it to be usable by anyone who wants it (e.g. collaborators). So far it works on Mac and Linux operating systems. On Windows computers, it will write the .dat and .pin files and read the output, but it won't run ADMB.

We are looking for a volunteer who already uses ADMB in Windows and has experience with R also. This would involve trying to use functions in R2admb on your computer and telling Ben what goes wrong.
