JSS (was: Re: [R] status of CRAN)

[Jan de Leeuw]

I might add that this is one of the main reasons JSS was
started. Observe that JSS will also start a section
"Code Snippets", which will have code submissions
similar perhaps to JRSS-C (Applied Statistics) and
preferably in Sweave form (details are being worked
out).
