Anyone like doing HTML design?
If I had the time, I would raise my hand for this one-- unfortunately
school, work and other commitments leave me with a full schedule for the
foreseeable future. Now that all R man pages are presented using a HTML
server, it would be nice to overhaul the presentation. Perhaps something
like the output of Python's Sphinx:
http://docs.python.org/3.1/tutorial/
The key elements I'm thinking of are:
- A sidebar with table of contents/navigation
- A search box
Yes, that looks like a nice design. But it looks as though nobody has
the time to do it.

Personally, I try to put an \author{} field with an email in all of my .Rd
files-- adding this as a requirement to R CMD check could enforce this
behavior. It could also break 99% of all the package builds on CRAN.
Another way package author/maintainer emails can be quickly obtained is
through the packageDescription() function:
packageDescription('packageName')$Maintainer
