Another possibility is to just place it at the end of the vignette. That is where it is in the proto package:
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/vignettes/proto/proto.pdf Package documentation is already quite scattered and adding a faq() command would add just one more thing one has to do. Here are some places one might look already for documentation: package?mypackage vignette(...) library(help = mypackage) ?mycommand home page WISHLIST file NEWS file THANKS file svn log I personally would give a much higher priority to a standardized place to find change information. Some packages provide it. Some don't which is very frustrating since you see a new version and have no idea what has changed. If they do document it you often have to download the source just to get at the change information.
