I think this is a moment to lean back from daily business, details or whatsoever and appreciate the impressive achievment of Ross, Robert and the R-core team. Incredible! They created an impressive and extremely useful software, for teaching, research and more. Besides these direct practical benefits, I think this project is more: it gives an outstanding example of international cooperation and it gives access to everyone, including the not-so-rich countries, to tools essential to perform empirical research as they need it. Thank you very much and best wishes for whatever your post-1.0 plans are -- Dr. Jens Oehlschl?gel-Akiyoshi (private mail, standard disclaimer) -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

Release 1.0.0
(silence)
Wow! Thank you!
When I started using R-0.49 in our department the question always was:
"What software? Never heard of ... "
Even in the previous pre-1.0.0 week that sounded like:
"Do we still need the other licences ..."
Thanks to the Core-Team! Incredible work!

If I am allowed to ask just one question today:
How do you fit 48 hours of coding in an ordinary day?
Any hints will be appreciated ...

As a very humble R user can I append my harmonica to the current round of congratulations and thanks to all the R people who have produced 1.0.0 on time and on target. If a plea is in order, could you all award yourselves a long break now so that we lower folk may catch up! Such a vacation would be more than well deserved. The pace of change is such that I am still running 0.90.1 on one machine and 0.63.3 on another on the basis that if it ain't broke don't fix it! I guess there are other ordinary mortals around as well and people using R in a teaching environment etc that will appreciate a quiet life. The skiing is pretty good in Austria at the moment - my son has just returned - there is a lovely big old coffee place just down the road from TUWien and I am sure NZ is blissfully beautiful this autumn. Meanwhile it is raining in Manchester. Perhaps a virtual R-holiday with webcams and a beer in all hands.

Dear All, I join all the enthusiasm that has been expressed to the R Core Team; I particularly agree with Jens' point of view below. Perhaps we could add our gratefulness to the R Core Team to animate the R-help list: I've learnt a lot about R by simply reading the illuminating answers to the many questions that could be asked. Thanks also to Bill Venables and Brian Ripley for giving general statistical advice that is useful to everyone. Finally, special thanks to Guido Masarotto and Brian Ripley for providing the Windows binaries (which I found tremendeous with the version 0.99.0a... look forward to the 1.0.0 binary).
