Subject: Converting Org to Sweave (*.Rnw)

Hi,

is there a way to convert Org-mode files with R code blocks to the 
Sweave ('*.Rnw') [1] file format or has anyone planned to work on this?

Sweave is heavily used in the R community in terms of literate 
programming, and has a tight integration into current package building 
workflows.  Essentially, the file format is a latex document, with 
designated code chunks.

Since Org/Org-babel offers a very similar feature set, and already 
covers the export to latex, I was wondering whether anyone is working on 
some code that would rewrite the code block headers in the export?  In 
the R community, I have seen a lot of interest in such an exporter, that 
would allow to write the documentation in Org itself and later export it 
to several backends, including Sweave to integrate it in the R package.

If anyone has some comments regarding this or is interested in working 
on this, please let me know.  My colleagues and I would be very 
interested in contributing in projects in this direction.


Best
Julian
