I'd be glad to work on R examples. I was thinking these would take the form of .org files with the explanatory text and the actual source code, we could then export them to HTML and post that up on Worg, and we could also share the raw .org files from Worg. R examples would be great. I think the most important languages to do up front (i.e. those languages with the most potential users) would be R, python, shell, emacs-lisp, and ruby (although my guesses at popularity could be wrong).
