I was browsing some recent R news at http://developer.r-project.org/blosxom.cgi/R-devel/NEWS/2016/01/03#n2016-01-03 And reading this item: "tapply() has been made considerably more efficient without changing functionality, thanks to proposals from Peter Haverty and Suharto Anggono. (PR#16488)" But I found that the link in the item goes to a page about the GUI, not tapply: https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=16488 It should go to this page for the tapply speed-up: https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=16640 This is probably just a simple typo, since a quick check of other links to bugs in the news showed they were all ok. Anyway, I couldn't see any webmaster contact details on http://developer.r-project.org/ so hopefully this list message will reach the right person. Ben

This is a good place to post typos in the documentation. I'll fix this one. Duncan Murdoch
