Do you think you can dump the existing R-docs into this wiki as a framework to get things going?



If the existing R-docs are "dumped" into a wiki, won't the copy in the Wiki quickly get out of date? How does one get around this problem?


And another problem is, how to reverse from something like HTML or XML back to .Rd ? I think that a generic format is absolutely necessary. The generic format we have and not yet another source of confusion.

If wiki means editing .Rd sources or better: inverse transformation in both sides (without to many loss), it would be nice. Is there really a chance?

Shurely their is. Define an XML schema. Write functions Rd2XML, XML2Rd, twiki2XML, .....
I am looking since ages for something like R2XML and XML2Rd.
If we can agree on an XML format for the documentation it will be something to start with.


Yours
