Ian Cook commented on ARROW-11477: ---------------------------------- Consider extracting out the dplyr piece of this for the 4.0.0 release and deferring the remainder for a later release. > [R][Doc] Reorganize and improve README and vignette content > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-11477 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-11477 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Documentation, R > Affects Versions: 3.0.0 > Reporter: Ian Cook > Assignee: Ian Cook > Priority: Major > Fix For: 4.0.0 > > > Collecting various ideas here for general ways to improve the R package > README and vignettes for the 4.0.0 release: > * Consider moving the "building" and "developing" content out of the REAMDE > and into a vignette focused on that topic. (Rationale: most users of the R > package today are downloading prebuilt binaries, not building their own; most > users today are end users, not developers; a more valuable use for the > README—especially since that it's the homepage of the R docs site—would be as > a place to highlight key capabilities of the package, not to show folks all > the technical details of building it.) > * Get the "Using the Arrow C++ Library in R" vignette to show in the > Articles menu on the R docs site. > * Edit the "Working with Arrow Datasets and dplyr" vignette to make clear > that dplyr verbs can be used with Arrow Tables and RecordBatches (not just > Datasets) and describe differences in dplyr support for these different Arrow > objects. > * Check all the links in the "Project docs" menu on the docs site; some of > them are currently broken or go to directory listings -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
