That sounds like a good idea. The name R makes it especially hard to find job postings, resumes or do any other type of search. Googling resume+sas or "job opening"+sas is quick and fairly effective (less a few airline jobs). Doing that with R is of course futile. At the risk of getting flamed, it's too bad it's not called something more unique such as Rpackage, Rlanguage, etc.

Out of curiosity, I went to the Google employment web site (I'm not looking, but just curious). In perusing their job posts for statisticians, preference is given to those who use R and python. Other languages, S-Plus and something called SAS were listed as lower priorities. When I started using Python, I noted they have a portion of the web site with job postings. CRAN does not have something similar, but think it might be useful. I think R is becoming more widely used in industry and I wonder if helping it move along a bit, the maintainer of CRAN could create a section of the web site devoted to jobs where R is a requirement. Hence, we could have our own little "monster.com" kind of thing going on. Of the multitude of ways the gospel can be spread, this is small. But, I think every small step forward is good. Anyone think this is useful?
