Thanks for letting us know about the new website. Some comments:
- Download statistics: Where are they from? CRAN does not monitor
downloads generally, maybe some selected mirrors do.
- Section "Recently updated" can only hold 9 packages, but frequently
more than 9 get accepted even within an hour, hence not sure if this
makes sense.
- The links "Download R" and "CRAN homepage" point to a particular link
of a mirror rather than the official pages. I'd appreciate if you do not
link to selected mirrors. The R homepage on purpose links to
http://cran.r-project.org/mirrors.html when pointing to CRAN.
Best,
Uwe Ligges

Dear All,
[ I was wondering if this should have gone to the new mailing list. Maybe. ]
As some of you maybe know from my earlier posts, I am building a simple
search engine for R packages. Now the search engine has a proper web site,
where you can also browse CRAN packages.
http://www.r-pkg.org/
As I see the value is in
1. package search (search box on top right)
2. APIs, see http://www.r-pkg.org/services
It is in alpha version, meaning that things seem to work, some pages are a
bit slow and there are a lot of glitches to fix.
I had a quick peek, and it looks really nice! I particularly think the
github integration for diff-ing versions can be very use full!
It might be an idea, to also add R itself to the github repo for
diff-ing?
Thanks a lot,
Rainer
Please tell me what you think.
Best,
Gabor
