Rossini and Udina. We could never decide on the format, that's why its empty.
I guess it could be used for "R function F that should be in package X" , but
from the JSS perspective it seems we must then also open the section to
C or Matlab or even IML and VB code. Opening a section of the journal that
only considers R code is a bit of a radical step, I think, although such a section
would be very useful to me as an R person. Given that the fact that JSS does
not have page limitations, and that I recently suggested to introduce a "type"
field in the MySQL database anyway, we might simply introduce the type
"certified R code" for some contributions. There will be buttons to select
contributions of a given type.

I further recommend, that JStatSoft be used as a peer-recongnition system for functions that get included in the 'standard R extension packages' that result. These will, of course, have been peer reviewed! This would meet a two-fold need. First, it would provide peer recognition for code that is not suficciently substantial to merit its own packaage, making it easier for new contributors to participate. (Many of the components of gregmissc actually fall into this category.) Second, it will demonstrate the *volume* of contributions by individuals by the number of inclusions. Of course, there would need to be a reasonable minimum size/worth requirement to be recognized in this fashon. Smaller contributions will continue to be recognized by listing the names of all contributors in a master list.===
