I signed up with one idea in mind, which might or might not be realistic, but I would be interested to hear what people think about it. You certainly all know that at websites like Amazon etc, people who bought certain products or bought a book can write a review about it. Since there are so many user-written functions and packages in R, maybe it would be good to have a similar feedback forum. So, the idea is to have some forum/page of some form, where users who have used a certain new package, could write a short review about it. This would be not just be useful for reporting bugs, but more general, whether there are any things, that the user expected, which are missing in the package. Or general comments what is good or not so good about this package. What do people think about this? Best wishes, Ulrike
