ladies and gents---is there a list of what the R core team would like to get funded? let's presume that we could raise $100,000 or $1,000,000 (or even $10,000,000) for the core team. what would the R core team do with the money? is there a list somewhere, perhaps like kickstarter? my preference would be improving up the default error hunting process---from greater strictness to assertions to line numbers on errors, followed by a POD. I know there are many clever ways to go about every one of these issues in R, but they are not so "standard" and built into the core language that every beginning R student will benefit. /iaw ---- Ivo Welch (ivo.welch at gmail.com)
