I'd be very happy to change its name and welcome any input on another name.

Subject: Re: [R] More discussion on R usage statistics



Interesting idea but would you be willing to change the name. Twitter, 
Stackoverflow, and the like use rstats to refer to R itself and confusion seems 
probable.

Dear R users,

>There has been discussion on how to collect R usage statistics before and the 
>discussion has led to some good results such as 
>http://neolab.stat.ucla.edu/cranstats/ and http://crantastic.org/. Recently, I 
>tried to put together a package that allows R users to rate, comment, and ask 
>questions on R packages within R. A working version is now available on both 
>github and r-forge. Note that the email feature may not work out as expected 
>because gmail, used by the package, only allows 500 messages sent per day.

>To install it from R forge, please use 
>install.packages('rstats', repos="http://r-forge.r-project.org";)
>
>Using github (require the package devtools), 
>install_github('rstats','johnnyzhz')
>
>A brief manual of it can be seen at: http://rstats.psychstat.org/rstats.pdf

>I'd appreciate it that if you can test this and provide feedback on how to 
>collect and utilize R usage statistics.
