<p>Please re-read our FAQ, especially the second section beginning "There are certain subjects that will probably get better responses on our sister sites."</p>

<p>The principle at work here is that when a question is about concepts and the practice of <em>statistics</em> and allied fields (like machine learning, AI, data mining, etc.), it is welcome here.  When it is specifically about how to use or program a particular piece of software, it probably belongs elsewhere.  That would apply to Taverna as well as it does to R, SAS, and all the rest.</p>

<p>I invite you to update the <a href="https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/793/internet-support-for-statistics-software">list of software-specific resources</a> we maintain on these pages.  (The list is linked from the FAQ.)</p>
