Dear R Project for Statistical Computing, My name is Aarnob Guha and I am very enthusiastic about participating in Google Summer of Code in 2021. I've been going through past projects in the Google Summer of Code archives for this organisation and I was curious as to whether R Project for Statistical Computing has any projects planned for 2021? If so, I was curious as to what these projects might be so that I can get an idea of what I need to learn in order to adequately do well in the project if I end up doing it. If you are ok with disclosing it that is. Otherwise, it is also fine. Thank you. Also, I wasn't particularly sure which mailing list to send this email to, so I just sent it to the general 'help' mailing list. I apologise for any inconvenience caused by this. Kind Regards, Aarnob Guha. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>
Google Summer of Code 2021

Hello, Aarnob Guha: I'm not sure, but r-devel at r-project.org might be a better list for this question. Over two years ago, I responded to a "Call For Proposals" from the R Consortium suggesting a project to improve the capabilities for searching R packages. That proposal was not funded, but documentation of the basic idea is still available: https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Draft_Proposal_for_improving_the_ability_of_R_users_to_search_R_packages See also: https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Searching_R_Packages Hope this helps.

https://github.com/rstats-gsoc/gsoc2021/wiki has been set up, but is NOT up to date as Google has announced changes to the project structure, essentially making them half the size. That actually fits with some work I'd like to see done to try to consolidate packages nlsr and minpack.lm into an improved nls(). nls() is now getting quite ancient and some fixes I've already proposed seem to be on their way into base R. However, figuring out how to do these nicely so that legacy code is preserved needs at least two pairs of eyes to find suitable patches. I'm sure there are plenty of other projects of this type, and useRs are encouraged to work up proposals. I've sent a msg to some of the people who have been involved and am waiting for a reply. I was co-admin in 2010 with Claudia Beleites, and am considering upping my effort while things are locked down. Best, JN
