R Books listing on R-Project
Jay: why not post your R-books how to on the wiki itself???
Because I thought that it would be better to write the instructions in R-wiki language that anybody could modify rather than post a PDF by me. Here is what I had in mind: http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=links:books:howto Also, I put the books from the main page in the above format: http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=links:books
?I wrote some R code to wikify the R-books list from the R web site -- it won't deal with LaTeX code in the abstract, but otherwise should convert automatically.
Excellent.... a person could use what you have written to simply copy/paste into the wiki in the appropriate place(s). One of the advantages of the R wiki is the ease with which books may be categorized - which goes back to Stavros' OP. At the time, I went to Springer or CRC somewhere and found the below categories. Judging from the flyers that fill my office mailbox, I believe that all of them are currently covered by *some* book related to R. If it were the author's responsibility to put their book in the proper category or categories, and given that authors are typically of a mind to sell books... then perhaps the R wiki would populate and maintain itself....?
