R help - Nov 2012 - r-help or r-devel ?

Hi the list,

I have some basic questions about "writing a package". On which list
shall I post them?
Theoretically, I am supposed to post them on r-devel, but all the questions on
this list are very
advance questions, not basic ones... So I don't know what to do.

In general, queries pertaining to creating R packages should go to R-Devel,
especially if it involves the use of C/C++/FORTRAN.

That being said, if your queries are "basic", please be sure to read
through Writing R Extensions:

  http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.pdf

and consider searching the list archives via:

  http://www.rseek.org

as there is a reasonable chance that your query has already been posted and
answered in the past.

If you have already done those things, then post to R-Devel, but please do
subscribe first:

  https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel

as it will save the R-Devel list moderators from having to manually approve each
of your posts, therefore making your posting more expedient.

Thanks and regards,
