[R-pkg-devel] Fw: [CRAN-pretest-archived] CRAN Submission moodlequizR 1.0.1

[Jeff Newmiller]

I don't know how you can negotiate with CRAN regarding attach, but one approach is to return the data frame and instruct your students to write

  moodledata <- paste.data()

instead of

  paste.data()

since either is just as obscure as the other in the mind of a beginner and the former promotes better understanding of R and good practice.
