[R-pkg-devel] CRAN Non-Triviality Requirement

[Clifford Anderson-Bergman]

An alternative might be to find an R package for which the dataset was relevant to and ask the author if they would be willing to include it in their package.

Personally, I’ve considered soliciting the users of my package to share their data in my package because every other package for this type of data uses the same 3 datasets over and over, which is a bit boring in my opinion.
