world that store identical, up-to-date, versions of code
and documentation for R.
GitHub
GitHub is where over 73 million developers shape the
future of software, together. Contribute to the open
source community.
Crantastic
CRANtastic is a free, open-source web-
application that allows users to search for,
review and tag CRAN packages. It was
created by Hadley Wickham and is
currently being developed by Bjørn

package than it's inclusion on CRAN
allows.
