Thanks a lot - since this is primarily a practical problem of making an actually working package available through github I used the drag and drop approach suggested by Martin Smith simply taking all project files from the RStudio project into the repository and it worked. Eventually I'll find out about how to integrate better with git, if necessary. But now the package draft is in place and I can go on extending and improving it. Best wishes Troels
