[R] newbie list

[Pesl Thomas]

In my view a 'Newbie Mailinglist' would be good idea. So students and other
newbies could ask questions which they normally would not ask.
But a better idea would be to generate a newsgroup because of several
reasons:
-) you can easily search the archives
-) the discussion is faster (I experience that the R-mailinglist has a lag
of about 1 to 2 hours (not for everyone!!!). When I ask a question, I get a
rather quick response by direct mail, but I recieve my own question and the
answers about 1 to 2 hours later). Hence it is not possible for all to
participate in a discussion.
-) a newsgroup allows you to order the messages in threads, so you can
easily follow the discussion.
