The document 'Some hints for the R beginner' is gradually becoming more complete and gradually gaining momentum in terms of hits. One of the more popular sub-pages is the jaRgon page even though there is hardly anything on it. I think the R-wiki is the place that such a list should live. My vision is that for each word there be a brief definition and then a link to a wiki page for the word. A number of definitions would be on the same page. I think this could be the application that finally gives the R-wiki the boost that it needs to fulfill its promise. The people learning R from the 'hints' document would come to think of the R-wiki as a natural place to look for information. The steps to do this are to create the structure within the wiki for it, and then to populate the definitions. The glossary from S Poetry should be a good starting point. I'm also happy to donate the jaRgon pun. -- -- Patrick Burns patrick <at> burns-stat.com http://www.burns-stat.com
