[R] Google Summer of Code 2021

[Spencer Graves]

Hello, Aarnob Guha:


	  I'm not sure, but r-devel using r-project.org might be a better list for 
this question.


	  Over two years ago, I responded to a "Call For Proposals" from the R 
Consortium suggesting a project to improve the capabilities for 
searching R packages.  That proposal was not funded, but documentation 
of the basic idea is still available:


https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Draft_Proposal_for_improving_the_ability_of_R_users_to_search_R_packages


	  See also:

	  Hope this helps.
	  Spencer Graves
