@yabellini @hrbrmstr I've settled on Codeberg as well. This is a great resource to get you started if you're an #RStats user, https://r-codeberg.codeberg.page/ thanks to @dgkf and @defuneste

It's also difficult for me to leave GH due to work, e.g., https://github.com/AAGI-AUS, and https://github.com/ropensci, but thankfully @mpadge has established an outpost for us, https://codeberg.org/ropensci.

I just read an interesting paper about #Sweave and tooling for reproducible research by Roger D. Peng, which was very important for #rstats before #RMarkdown and #Quarto. I can recommand to read it.

Peng, R. (2025). Tooling for Reproducible Research: Considerations for the Past and Future of Data Analysis. Austrian Journal of Statistics, 54(3), 1–8. [https://doi.org/10.17713/ajs.v54i3.2052](https://doi.org/10.17713/ajs.v54i3.2052)

It is alos in memoriam of Fritz Leisch (31 July 1968 - 24 April 2024), who made major contributions to this area.

This is the link to the whole issue in the Austrian Journal of Statistics.

Today, @lizhare gave a spectacular talk at the Big Team Science Conference about the peer review software resources developed by @rOpenSci and how she learned about them during the Champions program.

The slide with the unexpected benefits is my favorite part of the entire presentation! Thank you, Liz, for including me in this and introducing me to a new community!

Any #quartodev user had this issue? My document knits correctly and outputs the md file but then things fail with "malloc_consolidate(): unaligned fastbin chunk detected".

The latest RKWard release 0.8.2 brings improved package installation (now defaulting to pkgType="both" on Windows/Mac), smoother code completion (including filename completion inside quotes), and a more stable UI. Enjoy UTF-8 support on Windows, enhanced R Console preview mode with plots, and new Quick Code Navigation features.

Several bugs have been fixed, and plugins now support more readable GUI logic.

[blog] Throw-back Thursday!

Time flies when you're having fun!
12 years ago we setup a special 'Tutorials' page at rOpenSci, but now we have pkgdown websites for every package in our suite, as well as a dedicated page for use cases.

- https://ropensci.org/packages/all/ (Click 'View Documentation' to see the docs for any package)
- https://ropensci.org/usecases/ (Consider submtting your own!)

⏳ A new tutorials setup
📆 October 3, 2013
