I concur on both of Eric's suggestions below. I love R but I couldn't
imagine using it on a daily basis without "key" packages for various

Re: constructive criticism to make this list more useful to more people:
Suggestion 1: accommodate questions related to non-base-R packages
This has been addressed by many already. The current

Dear Avi et al.,
Rather than proliferating R mailing lists, why not just allow questions
on non-standard packages on the r-help list?
(1) If people don't want to answer these questions, they don't have to.
(2) Users won't necessarily find the new email list and so may post to
r-help anyway,
TL;DR The people responsible for tidyverse don't think much of mailing lists.
IANAMLA (I am not mailing list admin) and I know some people get kind of heated
about these things, but my take is that this list _is_ about R so to be on
topic the question needs to be about R and how to get things
Respectfully, this forum gets lots of questions that include non-base R
components and especially packages in the tidyverse. Like it or not, the
extended R language is far more useful and interesting for many people and
especially those who do not wish to constantly reinvent the wheel.
