The enormous advantage of a Wiki is that anyone can make contributions, subject to moderation when things get extreme. I'd like to see copies of all the CRAN Task Views ported to the R Wiki, with emails sent to the maintainers of all the packages mentioned, inviting updates, comparisons, clarifications, amplifications, etc. Similarly, I'd like to see people posting questions to R Wiki accompanied by a post to R-Help. Then someone else would edit the question with an answer. Officially designated R Wiki editors could notify people whose posts seem inappropriate for whatever reason that their entries may be removed unless clarified, etc. With the right selection of "editors" and a little time, I think the R Wiki could become the most valuable documentation available on R. > ______________________________________________ > R-devel@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel >
