I second Frank's comment! I wonder if questioners who receive a bunch of useful replies could be encouraged to enter a summary of those on a Wiki, in much the same way as users of S-news were expected to post a summary of their answers as a way of giving something back.
An existing R Wiki is located at http://fawn.unibw-hamburg.de/cgi-bin/Rwiki.pl?RwikiHome However, there's currently not much on it. Recently on R-help there was a summary of using databases with R, which looked very useful, so I put that on the Wiki. Maybe if others just start putting things there it can gather momentum? -- Tony Plate Frank E Harrell Jr wrote: > I feel that as long as people continue to provide help on r-help wikis > will not be successful.
