We are pleased to announce the first volume of R News, the
newsletter of the R project for statistical computing. The newsletter
is available online as PDF file at
http://cran.R-project.org/doc/Rnews
and will propagate to the CRAN mirrors within the next days.
R News will feature short to medium length articles covering topics
that might be of interest to users or developers of R, including
* Changes in R: new features of the latest release
* Changes on CRAN: new add-on packages, manuals, binary distributions,
mirrors, ...
* Add-on packages: short introductions to or reviews of R extension packages
* Programmer's Niche: nifty hints for programming in R (or S)
* Applications: Examples of analyzing data with R
The newsletter as a medium for communication intends to fill the gap
between the R mailing lists and scientific journals: Compared with
emails it is more persistent, one can cite articles in the newsletter
and because the newsletter is edited it has better quality control. On
the other hand, when compared to scientific journals, it is faster,
less formal, and last but not least focused on R.
As all of R, R News is a volunteer project. The editorial board
currently consists of the R core development team plus Bill
Venables.
We really hope you will enjoy reading R News!
For the editorial board,
Fritz Leisch

Congratulations for this first volume of R News. It is a great iniciative, and I hope that it will be a great success. This is my second year using R for my classes in Econometrics, and I am delighted with it.

Congratulations and many thanks to the R Core Development Team and Dr. Venables for an outstanding publication. Like R itself, it is of very high caliber. I know I, for won, will learn enormously from it and will enjoy doing it. Thank you again and best wishes for future.
