Would definitely like to read it! I personally find the need to go back and forth quite a bit between different tools when working even on a single dataset. Say, i'll do some work with text part of the dataset in Python, then use Matlab for some basic quantitative analysis, then use R for some advanced statistics if I have to, port those results back to Matlab/Python for speed, then back to R to sweave, maybe some spreadsheet stuff too, etc... So for me, for every project I need to have my dataset in easily accessible format (csv/someSQL/etc) and I need scripts in every language that I use, that would communicate with the data source and get "up to speed" right away. It's little tips like that I think people should be sharing more.
