Hi Bob,

Does anyone have a program that graphs the growth of R packages? I don't
know if that historical data is around.
John Fox had a slide on this in his useR 2008 talk "The Social
Organization of the R Project" (page 7), with package counts up to March
2008. As "Source of Data" he gave https://svn.r-project.org/R/branches/.
I've been digging around in there but really have no idea how he found
the relevant data there.
I'd be quite interested in this, too, so if you find out anything please
drop me a line...
I believe he looked inside tests/internet.Rout.save
This has
> nrow(available.packages(contrib.url("http://cran.r-project.org";)))
[1] 2008
and gets updated at each release.
