Yihui and Gábor, I agree with you, and I also think that using Travis CI would be very nice. However, there are hundreds of page on the R wiki to migrate… and syntax is a little bit different than Markdown. Of course, a solution would be to start again from scratch, but I think that those who

I second this suggestion. One possible complication I see is that if you would like to run the R code (to display its output for example), then AFAIK you cannot simply use Jekyll on Github's side, but would need some additional infrastructure. It might be possible to use Travis (or some other) CI

I want to make a humble suggestion: migrate the wiki to Github, and build the pages using Jekyll+Markdown. That way, I think it will attract more volunteers. Simply look how many pull requests that Hadley has got for his up-coming book hosted on Github (http://adv-r.had.co.nz): https://github.com/h

Thank you, Philippe, for the explanation. Yet again this shows that rather than discussing things in lots of messages, it is typically most helpful to ask the maintainer what is going on. The maintainer simply knows best... Thanks again, Uwe On 08.09.2014 19:10, Philippe GROSJEAN wrote: U

Uwe and all, I have problems with the R wiki engine. It seems that there is a systematic attack of the R wiki site that produces an overconsumption of the server's CPU, and consequently, my provider did shutdown the whole SciViews.org web site. Now, it is a bad time for me to work on this (very

[Rd] Problem with order() and I()

I have found that order() fails in a rather arcane circumstance, as in this example: > foo <- I( c('x','\265g') ) > order(foo) Error in if (xi > xj) 1L else -1L : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed > foo <-c('x','\265g') > order(foo) [1] 1 2 > sessionInfo() R version 3.1.1 (2014-07-10) Platf

I won't comment on the C/C++ option, as I'm not expert in that. However, R users and developers should know that Nocedal et al. who developed L-BFGS-B released an update to correct a fault in 2011. It was important enough that an ACM TOMS article was used for the announcement. I recently implement
