Full_Name: Ross Boylan Version: N/A OS: Linux Submission from: (NULL) (198.144.201.14) 1. http://www.r-project.org/posting-guide.html includes "Paul Johnson's R tips page is a organized collection of how to do things in R, with many questions and tips culled from R-help" "R tips" is a link to http://www.ku.edu/~pauljohn/R/Rtips.html. I get a message the page is no longer there when I try it. Desired state: delete or point to an active version of the document, unless this is some transitory problem.
The R tips seem to be found at http://pj.freefaculty.org/R/Rtips.html these days (but even PJ's official home page has a link to http://www.ku.edu/~pauljohn...). It might be better to link to the R Wiki, though. E.g., at http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=tips:tips
2. http://www.r-project.org/posting-guide.html includes in the section Surprising behavior and bugs, "make sure you read R Bugs in the R-faq." The latter is the link http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#R%20Bugs, which takes me to the page but not the section. The link on the FAQ page to that section is http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#R-Bugs (i.e., no %20). Desired state: update the link.
Yes. (It's only a half-page scroll plus an extra click though...)
You also might want to consider footers on your web pages saying "to report problems with this web page do xxxxx". The pages I looked at didn't have this info, as far as I can tell.
Maybe, if it is easy. The whole bug repository is overdue for replacement, so things that are not critical and/or easy to fix may be left alone...
I hope this is an appropriate place to let you know!
It'll do. Don't report other website issues to the bug repository though.
Thanks for your work on R.
