Publisher: The R Foundation for Statistical Computing

R News is the newsletter of the R project for statistical computing and
features short to medium length articles covering topics that might be of
interest to users or developers of R, including:

* Changes in R: new features of the latest 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 might not be so obvious
from reading the manuals and FAQs.
* Applications: Examples of analyzing data with R

The newsletter as a medium for communication intends to fill the gap between
the R mailing lists and scientific journals: Compared with emails it is more
persistent, one can cite articles in the newsletter and because the
newsletter is edited it has better quality control. On the other hand, when
compared to scientific journals, it is faster, less formal, and last but not
least focused on R.
