Full_Name: Danny Chia Version: 2.8.1 OS: Windows Submission from: (NULL) (169.229.100.137) This is more of a feature request, but it would be nice if the CRAN website had some sort of roadmap for R. That way, users would know what to expect for future versions of R.

Have you seen developer.r-project.org? All the relevant information is there. For the medium-term (up to 6 months) the NEWS file in the R-devel version of R indicates currently intended changes. CRAN is a distribution network, and distinct from www.r-project.org and developer.r-project.org. The R project does not have staff, and all plans are subject to ther availability of volunteer help. In practice that means that long-term goals are subject to some indefinite delays as the circumstances of individuals change.
