R News

Free-Journal.com - R News (ISSN 1609-3631) was the newsletter from the R project for statistical computing from 2001--2008. It featured short to medium length articles covering topics that could be appealing to users or developers of R, including 

• Adjustments to R : new features of the most recent release 
• Changes on CRAN : new add-on packages, manuals, binary distributions, mirrors,... 
• Add-on packages : short introductions to or reviews of R extension packages 
• Programmer's Niche : nifty hints for programming in R (or S) 
• Hints for newcomers : Explaining sides of R that may not be so obvious from reading the manuals and FAQs. 
• Applications : Samples of analyzing data with R 

The newsletter like a medium for communication intended to fill the gap amongst the R mailing lists and scientific journals : Compared with emails a newsletter is much more persistent, one can possibly cite articles inside the newsletter and since the newsletter is edited It must better quality control. However, when when compared with scientific journals, It's faster, less formal, and last although not least focused on R.
