Dear Spencer, Nice initiative!
I discover a lot of packages not by explicit search, but by running into them. I find cranberries really helpful there, especially the twitter feed (@CRANberries) and also r-bloggers, especially through Joseph Rickert's monthly roundup of new packages. And then of course there is the R journal and JSS, but those speak for themselves. So maybe a 'keeping up to date' section would be nice in the article?
