RSMF Project: Enabling the Next Generation of Contributors to R

This repository is for managing work related to the project "Enabling the Next Generation of Contributors to R", which aims to

• Build collaboration between R Core developers and R contributors.
• Establish a cohort of expert R contributors.
• Support broader engagement in R contribution.
• Improve communication between R Core and the wider community.

For more details see the R Blog post announcing the project.

This repository is intended primarily for discussions among the RSMF Project Team and partner collaborators. However, we welcome comments from experienced R developers/contributors and some projects will be open to external collaborators.

Note

Work under this project is not suitable for novice contributors. If you are new to contributing to R, we recommend visiting the R Contributor Site to find out how to get started.
