I'm starting this thread out of frustration for my own oversight.
blog.revolutionanalytics.com was having an R webinar today (LINK) that looked insightful and interesting. I remembered it at 10:19, 19 minutes too late
The problem is there's some much R news in so many different places that it's often hard to keep track.
I propose we keep this thread going as a news update for R. Items may include release date for new versions of R, R journal releases, updates to reference cards, webinars, new packages and/or versions. I think that it would be best to limit the reply commenting on this thread as is the case with the Info for R users thread (LINK). We could post R news updates as we come across them from different locations, give a brief description if necessary and a link to the source page/site.
This thread has some crossover with the Info for R users thread and ITT: Recommend a package but I see it as a compliment to these threads. For instance if someone posts an interesting new package release this should also be shared on the ITT: Rec. a pack. thread as well but in more detail or if a new version of a manual or reference card becomes available we should also post that to the Info for R users thread, again, in more detail.
This thread will be more of a news ticker to avoid
the frustration I experienced in missing the webinar today. If you all like it and it takes off great. If it doesn't take off I'll assume this was a dumb idea and put news reminders on my google calendar (though I should have done this anyway).
