[R] R package classification

[Dan Bebber]

Dear list,

there are now >400 packages available on CRAN.
Would it be useful to classify these packages
according to what they do (e.g. classification,
graphics, spatial statistics), to assist the user in
finding the appropriate package for their problem? Or
perhaps the search facility is enough.
I would attempt such a classification, but my
knowledge of statistical methods isn't good enough.
