Hello, I am just beginning to use R, after several years of using S-Plus (with mixed success). I saw a recommendation on another mailing list for the Environmetrics and Spatial Task Views, as a good way for a new user to get started actually using R. The Task Views page at CRAN says: "To automatically install these views, the ctv package needs to be installed, e.g., via

CRAN task views are useful, but they seem difficult to write and maintain because the XML format is rather limited (no sectioning) and the <packagelist> must be maintained manually. They are also difficult to read because the generated html and .css used are extremely basic, giving an overly dense page. Are there any markdown-like tools for writing a CTV? Is it possible to apply a

Dear developeRs, in the last month I mentioned in several discussions on R-help that Kurt and I were working on tools for "CRAN Task Views" which should help to structure the fast-growing list of packages on CRAN. Now the first version of a package called ctv (for CRAN Task Views) is available from CRAN and also two frist drafts for such views can be seen at

Hi, I am running Debian Sid. I am having trouble with the R packages. Executing 'help()' or 'demo()' launches 'most' with no text. 'help.start()' works properly. When I try to install a package, I get the following problem: ********************************************************************* > install.packages("ctv") Installing package(s) into

Cran task views seems to be a "once-per-session" process -- the first attempt to access views in a (RGui for Windows) session works, but subsequent attempts fail. There is a noticeably long pause before the failing call returns. Example session with two calls to "available.views" follows, but similar effects have been observed with two calls to "install.views" and

Since I had too much junk cluttering my computer, I recently re-set it back to factory settings, in the process eliminating R. I now have to reload R and packages, and would like to do that via the install.views command. I have successfully downloaded the package "ctv" but R does not recognize install.views. What am I doing wrong? I am using R 2.4.0. Pierre D'Ange. "To

Dear R-Devel, I have had it in my mind for some time now that a Task View related to R and education might be a good thing. There are currently 19 Task Views, covering a broad spectrum of general topics for which R may be used. The homepage lists 64 books related to R, and several of them have accompanying packages on CRAN. There is a wiki and a host of contributed documentation. We also have a

Hello, I've assembled a Multivariate ctv (with a lot of help from Achim Zeleis, who has now posted the view on CRAN). I'd be grateful for comments regarding missing packages / functions. Opinions on the organisation of the view would also be appreciated, as well as having any errors pointed out. I've adopted a rather broad and vague definition of "multivariate", which may

Hello to everyone! I have built CRAN task view for genetics. For now I have not submit it to CRAN yet and it can be accessible from: http://www.bfro.uni-lj.si/MR/ggorjan/software/R/Genetics.html http://www.bfro.uni-lj.si/MR/ggorjan/software/R/Genetics.ctv I have not submitted it to CRAN, since I would like first some opinion about it. Genetics is really so broad field that I belive one person

Hi all, Sorry if this doesn't end up in the thread. Tobias Verbeke forwarded that e-mail to me, because he thought I would be interested in maintaining the Programming Tools CTV. I wasn't subscribed to R-devel yet, but I would indeed like to volunteer to maintain the Programming Tools CTV. It will be my first time creating a CTV, so some guidance on getting it setup will be appreciated.

Dear Willem, Personally, I use the R-forge project for the distribution CTV : https://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/ctv/ It?s an alternative option to github.

Hello everybody, as a young/unexperienced R package developer (only a few, mainly for personal use) i was thinking it could be very useful having a "meta" task view for all package-development related packages and/or function. Something like ... Creation - utils::package.skeleton, pkgKitten, Rcpp::Rcpp.package.skeleton Foreign languages interfaces: - Rcpp Documentation - roxygen2

Hi, Please what am I doing wrong? I tried installing some views (eg MachineLearning, Multivariate) on R2.15.3, but it keeps on telling me that the package is not available for 2.15.3. Is it true? Thanks [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, Does the (core) designation in the CRAN Task View indicate packages that provide basic/recommended functionality in that domain? I don't see it documented anywhere on the site. Thanks for your help.

I am getting several errors about Windows only packages when I use task views. Is this suppose to be a Windows-centric utility? Also, I am sure there must be a simple way to tell which packages are in a view, but I haven't found it. If there isn't, it would be nice to have.

A little while ago here we had a short discussion about Task Views - I think ignited by someone saying 'how many times do I have to say "have you read the Optimisation Task View?"?' and I poured some fuel on that fire by saying "Task Views" was a stupid name. Anyway, I did say that Task Views were rather brilliant, but were let down by their hidden position on the R
