[webservices] Issues in timeseries application.wadl?

[andy barbour]

Hi Chad,

Thanks for the info.

The collaborative approach seems more in line with the spirit of R, which
has seen exponential growth in user-contributions (see, for example,
http://r4stats.com/2013/03/19/r-2012-growth-exceeds-sas-all-time-total/).
 If you do plan to release it, I would argue for CRAN (
http://cran.us.r-project.org/).

It's difficult to say how may people might use it; there are seismologists
that actively maintain packages though (e.g., Jonathan Lees).
