The Rassist package has been loaded to CRAN. This package is designed to make R easier for new users, by providing extra checks and feedback.
Presently the package functionality includes: * offers an alternative help facility, eg(.), with examples first, with additional examples included. eg() offers a start help menu, and eg(.) incorporates help.search(.) automatically. It also locates the relevant package if not loaded. * Some mathematical functions validate input received. They give feedback on units used, and when in error, prompt the user to correct the input. * plot(.) offers feedback and cautions about input format. * deskcheck incorporates debug(), in straight forward testing. * source(.), under development, in error produces a directory listing. We believe that much remains to be done, but we wanted to solicit community feedback from interested parties. Please pass on suggestions for other functions, or better ways to achieve the same goals, to me.
