[BUGZILLA #4316] homepage should not use frames #1888

From: Andy Jacobson <andyj@<::CENSORED -- SEE ORIGINAL ON BUGZILLA::>> Howdy,

    I really, really don't want to spark a flame war or anything,
    and please let me stress beforehand that I appreciate all the
    volunteer (!) work that goes into R and into
    www.r-project.org, but...I personally find that the framed
    access to web resources is annoyingly difficult to use.

    Chief among my several complaints is that I can't easily
    bookmark a particular destination once I've navigated to it.
    I find myself going through a four-page navigation everytime I
    want to check the r-help archives, for instance.  Or when I go
    to my "back" button menu, I get a list of 20 undifferentiated
    www.r-project.org links.  I won't trouble you with more
    detail, but I would like to point out a more thorough
    set of anti-frame arguments at
    http://www.html-faq.com/htmlframes/?framesareevil

    If I'm missing some blindingly obvious way to avoid using
    frames, or to work more easily with them, I apologize for
    my ignorance, and would appreciate corrective advice.  I must
    also admit that I don't know enough about html to suggest an
    alternative. 

    Best,

            Andy

This is not the webmaster for www.r-project.org, nor is this a bug.
