over 9 million entries in over 250 languages.
I think the R Wiki is ideal fo

I'm not sure that this would make any difference to someone considering using R.
Would they know what CRAN stands for? Probably not unless they've used
CPAN or equivalent in the past.
Would they know what a 'Task View' is? Again probably not as its not
patently obvious what it is, it doesn't "cli

I thought the task views were located where they are (linked from the page
that lists packages) as they summarise the available packages for the given

I have to recognize that my post certainly shows my lack of skills in really
navigating the R web page i am surprised that only one or two persons
wrote me about the "Task Views" - it is what i was after - although maybe too

Hi everybody,
I know this might be very off topic and it took me quite a while to up my
