I worry about this proposal because of the following example. One of the packages I use a lot (because it solves a problem I've been mulling for 10 years about how to test individual subjects) is multtest. That is part of Bioconductor, and the original purpose of it was (apparently) for DNA stuff. I doubt I ever would have thought to look there.
That said, I actually found it by using my own search engine and looking for "multiple tests" or something like that. So I guess this proposal isn't so bad, so long as people know about search.

The idea is that there are maintained "views" on CRAN that highlight which CRAN packages are useful for, say, biostats, econometrics, machine learning, etc. So there should be a web page giving a summary and a package list that could also be queried for automatic package installation. -- Jonathan Baron, Professor of Psychology, University of Pennsylvania Home page: http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~baron R search page: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/ ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
