The R tips seem to be found at http://pj.freefaculty.org/R/Rtips.html 
these days (but even PJ's official home page has a link to 
http://www.ku.edu/~pauljohn...).

It might be better to link to the R Wiki, though. E.g., at
http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=tips:tips

Maybe, if it is easy. The whole bug repository is overdue for 
replacement, so things that are not critical and/or easy to fix may be 
left alone...

It'll do. Don't report other website issues to the bug repository though.
