Hello dear R users,

Recently there has been several fascinating threads on the website
stackoverflow <http://stackoverflow.com> regarding the subject of R WorkFlow
best practices:

   - What best practices do you use for programming in
R?<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2258092/what-best-practices-do-you-use-for-programming-in-r>
   - Workflow for statistical analysis and report
writing<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1429907/workflow-for-statistical-analysis-and-report-writing/1434424>
   - How to organize large R
programs?<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1266279/how-to-organize-large-r-programs>
   - Organizing R Source
Code<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2284446/organizing-r-source-code>

And although many people there gave very detailed answers, I have the
feeling that there is much more wisdom on the subject that is still only
available in this mailing list.


So I'll phrase a few questions, and I hope as many people will participate
in sharing work styles tips:
1) What IDE do you use (and what features in it do you find are most
important to you. besides syntax highlighting and indentation)
2) Do you use a version control system? if so which, and how do you often
use it?
3) How (and when) do you document your code ?
4) What guides you when you build/organize your folders, files (data, code
and results) for a given project (when the project is small, medium and
large) ?
5) Did I leave any important aspect of this subject out?

In this question I am (personally) less interested in how to style your
code, or how to deal with doing R coding when several people are working on
the project.

p.s: If you know of older threads that dealt with these subjects (as I am
sure there where several), sharing the link would be nice...

Thanks for any insights shared,
Tal
