After reading some more, I think Tal's Wiki idea was also a good one-- conceivably a server could be set up that pulled tarballs from CRAN, unpacked them, and converted the man folders to HTML.
Then the server could provide a sort of a "master list" version of help.start() where each page was editable using some sort of wiki system. Users could fix documentation and developers could download patchfiles that contained the diff between the current wiki page and the their version of the documentation that was stored on CRAN. Sigh, my lack of free time is frustrating this morning... -Charlie -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/R-help-question-How-can-we-enable-useRs-to-contribute-corrections-to-help-files-faster-tp1572568p1572865.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
