Dear all, Edzer Pebesma and I are combining forces into a new GitHub organisation called "r-quantities", to which we have moved the CRAN packages 'units', 'errors' and 'constants'. The idea is to write a new package called 'quantities' to integrate 'units' and 'errors' into a comprehensive solution for dealing with quantity values + uncertainty calculus.
Given that a significant fraction of R users, both practitioners and researchers, use R to analyse measurements, we believe that the R community would benefit from such a project. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, there exists no such an integrated and automated framework outside the R language. We would like to share a proposal [1] to be submitted to the R Consortium before October 15. Until then, we kindly invite the R package developers to review it. Any feedback or contribution would be very helpful.
