It's a bit of a philosophical question right now, but at some point in a developing package's life - particularly one that starts small but is subsequently refactored in growth - there may be no code

There's overlap but they are not the same thing. You can see whether someone is a copyright holder by referring to the license you had and whether there is any of their content remaining. But that might not

As a fourth option, I wonder if the first author could fork the package? Presumably, appropriately cited, a fork is permitted by the license under which it was released. Then the original package, by both authors, still exists (and a final version could point to the new one) and the new package, citing the previous version appropriately, is by a single author.

My nephew was home last night and I couldn't play Starcraft with him because selecting UDP or IPX LAN games no longer works. When they're selected, a message box appears saying: Unable to initialize network provider I had the same issue in 0.9.11, 0.9.12, 0.9.13. I was able to play multiplayer LAN games previously, but I'm unable to say what version I was using at that time. I first

Hadley, With all due respect, I'm not sure what exactly your deliniation between author and contributor is, but from what I can tell I don't agree with it. >From the blogpost regarding your new purrr package: "Purrr wouldn?t be possible without Lionel Henry <https://github.com/lionel->. He wrote a lot of the package and his insightful comments ..." And yet he is

Simply advice: The former co-author contributed, so he is still author and probably copyright holder and has to be listed among the authors, otherwise it would be a CRAN policy violation since even if he does not develop further on, he developed parts of the so far existing package (if you talk about a CRAN package). I am not a lawyer, hence I cannot speak for copyright/license stuff in

Those of you who track applications of R may be interested in the following: "The purpose of this paper is then to apply modern text analysis techniques using the R statistical packege [sic] to compare the works attributed to Shakespeare to those of leading alternate candidates such as Sir Frances Bacon, Christopher Marlow, and Edward de Vere...".

I would like to teach some scientific/statistical computing to my 13 year old nephew and was considering using R for this. He has a Mac G3 OS 9.1. I am looking for ideas for problems that would be interesting and motivating for someone that age. I recently taught him the basics of HTML and noticed that he particularly was intrigued by the ability to change colors; thus, perhaps problems
