On an improved R wiki, R-intro: I think the issue of user-friendliness of documentation has been raised. When I first started using R, I found the S-PLUS online documentation very useful. It is very user-friendly and a great introduction, organized by application. See:
S-PLUS 6 Guide to Statistics, Volume I S-PLUS 6 Guide to Statistics, Volume II at http://www.insightful.com/support/doc_splus_win.asp How about a wiki based on this as a model, with some preliminaries and then user additions. Of course, the bottom line is, we need something targeted at end-users, not developers.
