R jargon

The document 'Some hints for the R beginner'
is gradually becoming more complete and gradually
gaining momentum in terms of hits.

One of the more popular sub-pages is the jaRgon
page even though there is hardly anything on it.

I think the R-wiki is the place that such a list
should live.  My vision is that for each word
there be a brief definition and then a link to a
wiki page for the word.  A number of definitions
would be on the same page.

I think this could be the application that finally
gives the R-wiki the boost that it needs to fulfill
its promise.  The people learning R from the 'hints'
document would come to think of the R-wiki as a
natural place to look for information.

The steps to do this are to create the structure
within the wiki for it, and then to populate the
definitions.  The glossary from S Poetry should be
a good starting point.  I'm also happy to donate
the jaRgon pun.

Dear all,

what happened to the R wiki? The links on the R homepage 
(http://wiki.r-project.org) result in a 404 error. Has it been moved?

can I create Wiki pages for my local R User Group?

Hi,

we have organized a new R user group in Madison, WI, USA.  I have edited the rugs:r_user_groups page to put in
information about our group.  I would like to create a Wiki page for our meeting schedule, and possibly
other related pages in the future.  Would it be appropriate to use the R Wiki for that?  If so, where in the name
spaces should I put my page(s)?

Thanks.

Yury

renaming a page

Hi.

Is it possible to rename a page, which i created a few days ago?

If not, can i simply copy it under a more appropriate name
and leave the old version only with a link to the new version?

I am sorry for this, but it was hard to choose the right name
immediately.

Petr.

Syntax highlighting (can I use R.php?)

I'm trying to write a wikibook (http://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php? 
title=Statistical_Analysis:_an_Introduction_using_R in case anyone is  
interested) to teach statistics using R. I would like to be able to  
syntax-highlight code in the book, and so I've been in touch with the  
authors of GeSHi, the program used to do syntax-highlighting on the R  
wiki.

Apparently, it is no longer necessary to use a hacked version of  
GeSHi, since allowing keywords with dots in "can be done quite easily  
with the PARSER_CONTROL settings." (see https://sourceforge.net/ 
support/tracker.php?aid=2276025 ). I guess that means that GeSHi can  
be distributed with R highlighting built in.

Presumably all that is needed is an R.php file. There is one at  
http://organicdesign.co.nz/GeSHi/R.php, but perhaps the one on the  
normal R wiki is more up to date? If I can find where this is stored,  
would I have permission to send it to the GeSHi people to be  
distributed with future versions of GeSHi?

Cheers

wiki down?

  anyone out there able to reach the R wiki ... ?

R Wiki down on 27 September

Hi all,

Following the major electricity problem we got at the University during 
the summer (the R Wiki was down for several days), there is a need for 
shutting off electricity on the whole campus for a full day to fix it 
next Thursday 27 September. Consequently, the R Wiki may be down for up 
to 24h. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Best,

Philippe Grosjean

Hi Philippe,

Can you post to the wiki your R.php language file for Geshi?

Thanks,

R Wiki back again

Hello all,

Sorry for the problem with the R Wiki that lasted several days. We had a 
major electric cut on the campus, and with a very limited staff due to 
holidays, it took longer than expected to recover. I am, myself, in 
holidays and only occasionally read my emails (every ten days, or so). 
The server is now working again.
Best,

Philippe Grosjean

How to upload a graphics file?

I was trying to upload a .svg file to the Wiki, but I couldn't see how 
to do it.

I clicked the "Add images or other files" button and got a page (with 
the category Mediafile Selection packages:cran), where I could browse to 
the file on my computer (mlgvswgt1.svg) and click "Upload".  However, 
even though it gave no error, there was no indication that the file was 
successfully uploaded, and I couldn't find it.  The 5 or 6 filenames and 
images in the right hand side of the "Add images..." window didn't change.

How do I go about uploading an image?

rdoc pages not finding R docs?

When I visit http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=rdoc:base:seq , 
I see the following text:

== Rwiki file not found! ==

Be aware that due to the use of binary floating-point arithmetic, you 
may not get results that are exactly equal to what
...

The source of the page starts with "~~RDOC~~".

In fact, I see this "== Rwiki file not found==" on all of the half-dozen 
or so rdoc pages I tried visiting (with the exception of 
http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=rdoc:base:any, which 
displayed as "~~RDOC~~"???)

Curiously, for any of these pages, when I click "Edit this page", and 
then click "Preview", I see the R documentation.
