To clarify, the developers, Duncan Murdoch, Michael Lawrence, and Martin Maechler, who are R Core Developers are participating in the project, but this should not be construed to be an endorsement from the R Core Developers as a whole, and the work of the R Documentation Task Force is not guaranteed to be included in R Core. My apologies to any who may have misinterpreted the intentions of the announcement.
