We are pleased to announce the first volume of R News, the newsletter of the R project for statistical computing. The newsletter is available online as PDF file at http://cran.R-project.org/doc/Rnews and will propagate to the CRAN mirrors within the next days. R News will feature short to medium length articles covering topics that might be of interest to users or developers of R, including * Changes in R: new features of the latest release * Changes on CRAN: new add-on packages, manuals, binary distributions, mirrors, ... * Add-on packages: short introductions to or reviews of R extension packages * Programmer's Niche: nifty hints for programming in R (or S) * Applications: Examples of analyzing data with R The newsletter as a medium for communication intends to fill the gap between the R mailing lists and scientific journals: Compared with emails it is more persistent, one can cite articles in the newsletter and because the newsletter is edited it has better quality control. On the other hand, when compared to scientific journals, it is faster, less formal, and last but not least focused on R. As all of R, R News is a volunteer project. The editorial board currently consists of the R core development team plus Bill Venables. We really hope you will enjoy reading R News!
