Hi there,
I am about to develop a Bioconductor package that implements a custom S4
object, and I am currently thinking about a few issues, including the
following:
Say we have an S4 object that stores a lot of information in different
slots. Assume that it does make sense to extract informat
Can it be that the “in Bioc” shield is incorrect?
For instance, it says “9.98 years” for vsn but the first commit was in Oct 2002
Curiously “9.98 years” is stated for many old packages - surely we can use R
for more precise date arithmetic?
Cheers

Dear Christian
not sure this is a wise idea, it breaks the semantics of “[“.
The number of elements stored in an array is the product of the extent of its
dimensions.
In your example, it is the sum.
To put it less abstract, a[1:2, 2, 3:4, 1] for a regular array is a 2 x 2
matrix, whereas in your
I agree with Wolfgang that the semantics of [ are being violated here. It
would though help if you could be a little less vague about your intent.
What is this data structure going to store, how should it behave?

Dear Martin,
All of these suggestions sound good.
Wolfgang's suggestion regarding possible associated papers might be also great.
Another useful information would be to point to other publications where a
given package was used, and cited.
I don't
The common shield convention is to use blue or orange when the information
is not qualitatively good or bad, but the color choice is just subjective
in the end.
