[R] what happened to inside-r? [possibly OT]

[David L Carlson]

Microsoft's version of CRAN (called of course, MRAN) has hyperlinked listings of

packages at https://mran.microsoft.com/packages/ and
Task Views at https://mran.microsoft.com/taskview/ 

DataCamp.com has a search engine for functions in CRAN and BioConductor (11095 packages) at

http://www.rdocumentation.org/

and Task Views at http://www.rdocumentation.org/taskviews

If I prepend with "R" and an R function name in a Google search I generally see a link to a manual page at https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/base/html/
