I'm wondering if there's demand/interest in a cookbook-style site
along the lines of ActiveState/O'Reilly's Perl and Python cookbook
sites. (If you're not familiar with the cookbooks, they're databases
of user-supplied "recipes" illustrating various programming tips and
techniques.) The advantage of the cookbooks are that, since users
supply the content, they take much of the demand off of the
maintainer(s).
I figure that a cookbook would probably be welcome (after all, who
doesn't like more information?). So, I guess the real question is if
there are enough people who would be willing to contribute recipes on
an ongoing basis? The R community is certainly smaller than that of
Perl or Python.
Thoughts?
