Dear all, I do think that joining efforts is a good idea. However, hydrologists will probably not intuitively think about joining r-sig-ecology to discuss hydrological issues. Could we therefore explicitely state on the infopage that discussions to hydrology (in addition to general environmental data) are also welcome.
It would be great if Sara of someone of the maintainers of the r-sig-ecology list could add that info to the info page.
I don't think it is worth it, but probably the appropriate name would then be r-sig-env for such a list? In the description, you are also refering to the Environmetrics task list.
I think that r-sig-env would be much more intuitive for environmental scientists coming from fields different from ecology, but I don't think it is possible to change the name of an existing mailing list.
However, I'm wondering if it would be possible to create an alias termed 'r-sig-env' to 'r-sig-ecology' ?, in order to make the name of the list more intuitive for environmental scientists but without disturbing the current users.
I'm wondering where we can make people aware of the fact, that hydrological issues are discussed on r-sig-ecology. I'm going to ask Gavin Simpson to put references to the list on the environmetrics task view if you agree that this would be useful.
I think it would be very useful to make more general the description of the r-sig-ecology in the R mailing list page (http://www.r-project.org/mail.html), something like:
R-sig-ecology: Using R in environmental and ecological data analysis Also, we can announce the mailing list during our R-short
course on hydrology at EGU. What else?
This would be great !
Best regards! Dominik
