Milestone: 4000 packages on CRAN

[Bryan Hanson]

As you can see below, R continues to add user contributed packages at a steady rate.

If anyone has an idea for an R-related guest speaker or other event, please do share.  Kruschke's visit was very nice.  It would be good to have such an event at least once a year.

Good Luck with the fall semester.  Bryan

Bryan - thanks very much for the notice of 'new package arrival'; R continues to hold its amazing place in the data analysis world. And yes, it would be good to do a 'Kruschke-event' once a year (maybe he would come back for another visit - he did let me know how much he enjoyed coming here for the day).

Speaking of 'data analysis', see the attached paper... in one single sentence (you'll have to find it : - ) it gives one of the biggest 'boosts' to bio-analytic chemistry and its utter importance.

take care,

chet
