Hello all R developers, I just send the official annoucement of the R Wiki at wiki.r-project.org (was also officially annouced at useR!2006). I would like to insist here on the aspects of the Wiki that could be of particular interest for you, as R developer: 1) The 'R documentation' section is dedicated to hold the latest "wikified" version of all Rd files (base, recommended, as well as all packages on CRAN and Bioconductor). Users can append exemple, discuss points that are unclear for them, etc. at the end of these Wiki pages. So, looking from time to time to these page is a good way to get feedback from the users to improve your Rd files. (note that, currently only base packages are on the Wiki; Also, several bugs in the Rd -> Wiki conversion still need to be fixed, but that will be done as soon as possible and all other Rd files will be published then). 2) The 'R packages' section of the Wiki is an ideal place to allow developers *and* users of R packages to add useful material like further examples, tutorials, tips, etc. related to your packages. Although this section is still in development, here is how you can create a page for your own package and advertise it: - After login to the R Wiki site, type this in the search box (top right of any R Wiki page): packages:[cran|bioconductor|others]:[pckgname] with: [cran|bioconductor|others] depending on where you package is located, and [pckgname] being the name of your package (note that the R Wiki uses only lowercase letters for page names, so that your package name will be automatically tranformed into lowercase in the URL of your page) - An error message indicate that the page does not exist yet. Click on 'Create this page' at the top left. - Start editing your page and click 'Save'. - Copy and paste the URL of your page in the URL section of your description file.

Thank you very much for this Philippe and everyone else who contibuted to the R Wiki. Great initiative and work. I'm interested in the 'R packages section' for adding extra help on my packages. What kind of backup is there for the wiki?
