[R-sig-eco] ecology or environmetrics?

[Mark Andersen]

I'm in favor of this suggestion as well. 

There are two things I find frustrating about the general R-help list:

1) Much of the high volume of traffic on that list exists because of the
shortcomings (or at best uneven quality) of the available documentation,
especially for contributed packages. (The R core documentation is mostly
pretty good, although it seems poorly organized at times.)

2) It seems to that, for many of those posting on R-help, statistical
computing is an end in itself. For me, and I hope for this list in general,
it is a means to an end, the end being good data analysis that provides
scientific insight.

I'm hoping that this list can avoid those sources of frustration.
