First R Package --- Advice?
Other people have recommended Roxygen, but honestly I haven't seen a package documented with Roxygen where the documentation was adequate. It looks as though it's great to get initial documentation created, but does not appear to encourage followup.
I don't think that's a problem with roxygen - I think that's the key difficult of writing documentation. Personally, I find it much easier to keep roxygen documentation up-to-date than with separate Rd files, because when I'm modifying the function, the documentation is right there, reminding me to update it.
