May I suggest that there be a "Task Views" item
on the left sidebar of the R website in the
Documentation section?

It is in the left side bar of CRAN already.

Yes, on CRAN but not on the R Homepage. I do agree with Hans that people do not seem to find it easily. One reason may be the term "Task Views" is fine once you know what it is, but it is not completely self explanatory, so you have to look to see what it is. Thus, a bit like reading documentation, people do not always do it. Perhaps a bullet in "Getting Started" would help?
