========R package for accessing the geonames.org API
Install from here using `devtools`:
* `install.packages("devtools")` -- if you don't have devtools yet
* `require(devtools)`
* `install.packages("rjson")` -- gets this dependency from CRAN
* `install_github("ropensci/geonames")`A version of this will be pushed to CRAN.
To enable all of the functions of this package, register for a geonames.org username at http://www.geonames.org/login/ and then enable access to the geonames free webservices by clicking http://www.geonames.org/enablefreewebservice Once that's done, in your `R` session, run `options(geonamesUsername="myusername")` to authenticate with the webservice. More information about the parameters for many of the functions in this package can be found here: http://www.geonames.org/export/ws-overview.html
