It seems that bounty offers would not solve the basic problem. The basic
problem is, there is no enough developers. And majority of us here are
not developers, so we cannot really help.

Maybe we should start actively looking for new developers?

Or perhaps start a different paradigm for adding function to PSPP (still need developers but maybe fewer):

The big advantage of SPSS in my eyes was and is ease of use so why not focus on the front-end role of PSPP and

put developer time there and leave the backend processing to R-Project for the calculating side of the task.

That is, develop a general hook from PSPP into R (?start with generating R batch files and then bring R output back into PSPP)

and focus on PSPP commands to drive that hook?

There is an approach to pivot tables in R http://www.rforexcelusers.com/make-pivottable-in-r/ which could perhaps be a starter for basic CTABLES back-end functionality?

Or maybe hire one (maybe from India)?

Matej
