Majority of questions on this list concern data manipulation. Many are repetitive. "Overlooking" like that will always happen unless some comprehensive data manipulation documentation is made.
I think many people would benefit if a specialized data.manip ref.card were conceived.
Tom Short's card is an excellent one but it does not cover high level packages like plyr, reshape, DoBy, and a few base data.manip functions are not there as well.
