[Wishlist] a 'PackageDevelopment' Task View

Hello everybody, as a young/unexperienced R package developer (only a few, mainly for personal use) i was thinking it could be very useful having a "meta" task view for all package-development related packages and/or function. Something like ... Creation - utils::package.skeleton, pkgKitten, Rcpp::Rcpp.package.skeleton Foreign languages interfaces: - Rcpp Documentation - roxygen2 Profiling: - utils::Rprof - profr - proftools Unit test - RUnit - testthat Spell checking - tools::aspell_package_* functions "Misc": - devtools and so on. These are only the ones i (use or know) & (remember), but for sure there is already a lot of useful code in this area and having a summary (by more experienced developers) of which good tools are available would be *very* useful, IMHO. How about it?
Sounds like a good idea. You should do it. Download the "ctv" package, and read the vignette for instructions. Duncan Murdoch
