I'm happy to announce that there is now a real bug tracking system for R. Hopefully, this will make it easier for us to keep track of unresolved bugs, which has been difficult because of the massive amount of email that we receive. The system, which is of the JitterBug variety is available through the web at http://r-bugs.biostat.ku.dk or via email to r-bugs at biostat.ku.dk (which is aliased to r-bugs at stat.math.ethz.ch for the absent-minded...) There are no particular formatting requirements for reports, although the web interface tries to help you remember to give information on your R version, OS, etc. The web interface also allows you to browse through old reports to see whether your problem has already been reported by someone else. The members of the core team are automatically notified when new reports come in. You will not necessarily receive any response to a bug report, other than perhaps that the next version of R will have one bug less. Note that this is intended to help us get rid of bugs in R, not as a general helpdesk service. For problems in using and installing R, the mailing lists should still be preferred.
