Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Preliminary vision statement open for discussion

Adding a statistics package will be a critical component. [I was going to suggest adding a statistics package for dotWRK on a previous post but really think it should wait until dotLRN is folded back into OpenACS with the dotWRK goals currently outlined --to save duplication of efforts. Also, I wanted to refer to the postgres statistics package that a couple of OpenACSers are playing with... but can't find the forum reference about it right now.]

We are building a vertical app that also requires tight integration with stastical functions. Right now we are using a numerical library written in C and calling the statistical functions from PL/SQL using Oracle's external pocedures. If there is a way to something similar that is not Oracle specific we would like to try it.
