usually "staff" is payed.  Instead, we are the group of core volunteers.
Questions like these belong to the "R-help" mailing list where there's a
much larger group of volunteers willing to help out (as time permits).

I assume you have not even installed R?  If you did,

   help.search("cluster")

gave you a lot of "pointers" (in the form  "<function name>(<package name>)")
to all the *installed* (on your particular system) functionality.

Try any CRAN mirror, e.g. the US one. 
Under Documentation, Manual, you can see the 6th part of "The R Manual",
the reference index (880 pages) of all ``standard'' functionality

   http://CRAN.us.R-project.org/doc/manuals/refman.pdf

For all the contributed extension packages (more than 100), the following
is a direct link
