a spatial bestiary?
Both links are great, but not actually addressing the point that Lee is raising. Perhaps not only a guide is needed and an effort to review, harmonize and even re-organize different spatial objects might be needed. But an structured guide presenting current spatial object classes would be great help and could actually highlight eventual needs for re-organization. Let's try to find time for this among all users.

Lee, I share your confusion. Maybe something like a cheatsheet could help ? It's not highly structured, but it present information in a different way. These are two I'm aware of (I've made the last one). http://www.maths.lancs.ac.uk/~rowlings/Teaching/UseR2012/cheatsheet.html or http://www.rpubs.com/etiennebr/visualraster Etienne 2013/12/13 <ldecola at comcast.net>
I?ve been teaching and using R (and S-PLUS) for a couple of decades, and
using its spatial libraries for about half of that, but i still get
confused by the various ?geographically-aware? data objects that are
supported. Although Bivand?s Spatial.html page is quite helpful, I wonder
is there a ?bestiary? that outlines (perhaps in some kind of tree format?)
what they are, what geometries are represented, which libraries create or
support them, etc.?
