[R] Proposal for New R List: Criticism? Comments?

[Berton Gunter]

My thanks to all who commented, both publicly and privately. There seems to
be some agreement that some sort of better "indexing" system (for want of a
better term) to help users find the functionality they need is desirable,
but very little support for my proposal. So be it -- the vox populii has
spoken!

However, I hope that the discussion may yet catalyze some further thought
and ultimately useful improvements or changes in what is currently
available, whether in R, on CRAN, or from individual web sites like Jonathan
Baron's.

Again, my thanks to all for your ideas.
