Cool, thanks.

I prefer vignettes and examples directories which can be built in automated
and batched fashion as additional build regression tests.
I do not plan to open a wiki, but if others want to go that route, why not.
As for stackoverflow et al: I am still not convinced people search that as
much. I do add replies there, but it is still more one off-ish.
Whereas I do come back to examples/ which are in our packages; see e.g. just
this week with RInside. Releasing worked and working example that way is my
clear preference.
Cheers, Dirk
