(Fwd) [R] Web On line help and manual

Sorry my question was *not* about getting the html help pages on *my*
computer with R installed but to indicate to (distant) colleagues (and
anyone interested) a *web* online help describing the richness of R with
all the contributed packages and not only the base package. Also
something that is not the 850 pages of Reference Index. Does that exist?

Is what is in the FAQ not enough?  That is the only list I know of which
precises the contributed packages.

I am searching an online manual describing the functions and packages of
R, to indicate  the url to colleagues who might be interested in R, instead
of crawling through the  "Package sources" page. I have found deep down
the FAQ the address    {HYPERLINK
"http://stat.ethz.ch/R/manual/"}http://stat.ethz.ch/R/manual/ but there is
only the base package. Is there anything else I  missed? Wouldn't it be an
idea to have such an extensive online manual?
Thank you

You mean the same as
  <CRAN>/src/contrib/PACKAGES.html
e.g.  http://stat.ethz.ch/CRAN/src/contrib/PACKAGES.html
?
I think this must be what Charles is looking for.
(it still has links to the extensive reference manuals if desired).
