[R] Wikis etc.

[John Sorkin]

Uwe,
I think you suggestion for giving the URL of the archives as, 
 "cran-MIRROR/search.html" (emphasis added) is not optimal, because the URL as does not work. The URL given should work as given. Thus,
 http://cran.us.r-project.org/search.html 
http://www.stats.bris.ac.uk/R/search.html 
or 
 http://cran.r-project.org/search.htm
are more helpful.

But then, everybody loads stuff from CRAN master and does not use an 
appropriate mirror.
I'd like to suggest *not* to use any mirror URL explicitly in R-help 
mails (always, not only related to this thread).
In this case, I'd propose to write something like "CRAN-mirror/search.html"
