R Users - Tomorrow night, we are leading a group of R programmers to a site called Stack Overflow, Stackoverflow is a collaborative question and answer site for programmers, currently lacks much R content. to populate some of the most oft-asked and reluctantly-answered questions about R.
The R-help mailing list is an indispensable resource to members of the R community. Perhaps owing to its interdisciplinary appeal, R is not always an easy language for its suitors. There are a common set of questions that tend be asked repeatedly, to the detriment of many of the R experts here (you tire of repeating yourself) and the beginners (who receive technically correct, but terse responses). As the ranks of the R user community grow, this may test the limits of patience for its subscribers. Our aim is to shift this corpus of common technical questions off the mailing list. If you would like to join us in this effort, we'll be starting it 7pm PST Wednesday, July 22nd 2009. You can see the questions as they appear on Stack Overflow or follow @rstatsmob on Twitter. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/r http://twitter.com/rstatsmob If you'd like to join us in person, we'll be in San Jose at O'Reilly's Open Source Conference. The event is free and open to the public. http://en.oreilly.com/oscon2009/public/schedule/detail/10432 Location: Ballroom A2 San Jose McEnery Convention Center 150 West San Carlos St. San Jose, CA 95113 We're hopeful that our efforts may result in the creation of a valuable resource for the growing R community.
