Somewhat related to this topic, some folks made this package:
https://github.com/hilaryparker/explainr It could be related to
Wolfgang's idea of learning which methods are more important, its
just that people would have to write the explanation. Then a new user
can learn about it.

I just noticed in the newsletter [1] that Martin fixed this in R-devel / R
3.2
methods(class=GenomicRanges)

thanks Martin!

Also some interest on our side to contribute.
Perhaps in particular the rendering a useful index (or graph) of man pages on
the fly in HTML / graphically.
Is it too ambitious to “learn” which methods are most important for objects of
a particular class from analysing (running) a large code

Great, that's the sort of thing I had in mind.
Is it too
nice. I will play around with this. thanks Gabe!

Hey guys,
Surgically removed from promptClass:

I was thinking about a request from someone at Bioc2014 (I can't
remember at the moment)
As an end-user, if I have an object x, how can I *quickly* recall the
main methods for that? As in, without breaking my flow and going to
?myClass or help(myClass-class). Suppose x is a GRanges, how can I

I think this gets at the heart of at least one of the usability issues in
Bioconductor: interface discoverability. Many simpler command line tools
have a single-faceted interface for which it is easy to enumerate a list of
features. There's definitely room for better ways to interrogate our
