Hi, Gabor:
Thanks. I added a row for Ruby and columns for "Package manager"
and "Collaborative development platform" to the table of "Selected
Repositories" in the Wikipedia entry for "Software repository". Please
correct me if I'm wrong, but the Wiki page for Ruby suggested to me that
RubyGems is a package manager, crudely comparable to the "R CMD check
process", while the Ruby counterpart for CRAN is the "Ruby Application
Archive (RAA)". In addition, there is "RubyForge", which sounds like
analogous to R-Forge. If this is incorrect or can otherwise be
improved, please either let me know or change the Wiki yourself.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks again,
Spencer

Hello, All:
What thoughts might you have on "The R Software Package Development
Process"?
I'm looking for ideas, materials, references, and / or collaborators
for an article on this topic to be submitted to the Communications of the
ACM. My limited experience with other languages such as Matlab and Python
suggests that R may be fairly unique with CRAN and this accompanying package
Perl has CPAN and TeX has CTAN. Ruby has RubyGems.
