May I share with you and your readers that THE open source language for statistical analysis (e.g: for doing science) is called R (see: http://www.r-project.org/).
And that the leading blog aggregator for the R community is running on WordPress (see: http://www.r-bloggers.com/) with over 340 bloggers writing about the R software.
I would go further: code producing scientific results for publication should have at *some* testing applied the code. Lab equipment is calibrated and tested, why not the software equivalent.
Why does software need to be open source? I use Mathematica, hardly open source, and the results are completely reproducible.
Hi Matt,
