Rtips (was Re: [R] ? building a database with a the great examples
I think there is a lot of merit in this idea. I think there is a big question about "authentication" and protection of Wikis from vandalism. I've set up Wikis for other projects that I started after Rtips. I have not seen your Wiki software before, but it looks pretty nice. I see it does have diff support, so old pages can be restored, yes? But it doesn't authenticate users, which causes me some concern. (I understand the Wiki philosophy that we should not be concerned about authentication, but I've never bought into it all the way). I have a TWiki site here: http://www.ku.edu/cgiwrap/pauljohn/twiki/view This one I hacked up special to use authentication on some pages so that people have to log in before they can edit. I had not realized before I looked at your page that Wiki implementations are customized for document format. For page sections, your Wiki uses = aHeading = but Twiki uses ---+ aHeading That's kindof a bummer.

Perhaps you want to start maintaining Rtips itself!
Perhaps it is time to start a wiki for R? For those not familiar with the idea of wikis look here: http://www.wikipedia.org/ (incredible wiki encyclopedia) http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiWiki (for a description of the mechanisms of wikiwikis) I just did a quick hack to set one up: http://fawn.unibw-hamburg.de/cgi-bin/Rwiki.pl?RwikiHome Any comments welcome! If the community uses the site I promise to do what I can to keep it running. Detlef
