Re: [R] R User Group listings
Fritz, Thanks for link in News! Looking forward to link in Misc. (I agree with "on par" concept) John, To address "how do we get started" questions - how about a sub-page on R wiki where we can post what we've learned & some of issues encountered?

Hmm, not more dominantly, but on par? And note that I entered "User Groups" under "Misc" on bottom of the menu bar, while mailing lists are far more up the list. But the web pages need a serious re-organization anyway, especially the "Related Projects" part is a big mess.

I can see that, but then also the point of two many entries in the top-level r-project.org web page.

Re: [R] R User Group listings
Better ideas should prevail. There is now a wiki page at http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=rugs:r_user_groups. It is not yet fully populated.

Re: [R] R User Group listings
Why not! Looks like there were several conversations going on independently at UseR about this. I'll put up a page and then ask Martin to adjust the link.

I shortly talked with Jip Porzak about it at useR (because he previously approached me with the question about having such a list on the "official" R web pages). My personal opinion is that such a listing really belongs into the R Wiki, such that user groups can add themselves. Of course it would be great if somebody could act as an editor and have an eye on the page, and we could have a prominent link to it from the R homepage.

Re: [R] R User Group listings
Further to my posting about R UG mailing lists etc., and David Smith's post about the list he is maintaining (I was aware of his blog, but not that he was updating -- good show), I'm in communication with him to try to ensure we get appropriate information out to useRs. Already there has been a posting asking if there is any group in Germany, and asking is the first step to getting a group going. I suspect we need to expand from just a listing to also include "Desperately seeking R users..." entries. Will see what we can do.

I've also been maintaining a list at: http://blog.revolution-computing.com/local-r-groups.html The most recent addition is the user group in Japan. # David Smith On Thu, Jul 30, 2009 at 5:33 AM, Prof. John C Nash wrote: > > There are now several R geographic user groups, and a few have mailing lists > on the R mailing list system.

Re: [R] R User Group listings
There are now several R geographic user groups, and a few have mailing lists on the R mailing list system. Thanks to Martin M, there's also a pointer to a page I'm maintaining to list/describe the groups. The page is at http://macnash.telfer.uottawa.ca/RUG.html Contact me if you have a listing. I'm prepared to wikify it if there is sufficient interest.
