1 year ago Oh, one remaining thing: You, Julia @jpiaskowski, are now a "Maintainer" of the cran-task-views/Agriculture repository. You can invite your co-maintainers to become members of the cran-task-views/Agriculture as well. Or let me know if I should do so.

1 year ago I think it's ready to go. I made a small change and pushed to the transferred repo without issues. I don't think I have permission to invite collaborators ("Collaborators and teams" is not listed under "access" in the Settings tab), although I would like to invite @janetw and @adamhsparks to be maintainers.

1 year ago Also, thank you to everyone who worked to shepherd us through the process! I am so excited that this is about to go live! The agriculture research community will definitely get some mileage out of this.

1 year ago Sorry, Julia @jpiaskowski, for the confusion about the roles. I'm still not as proficient in GitHub as I should be...but I'm trying. I have given you, as the principal maintainer, an "Admin" role. And I invited @janetw and @adamhsparks in "Maintainer" roles. Tomorrow morning (CEST) I'll release the view on CRAN and announce it on Twitter. We're also very happy to have you on board! I'm certain that the task view will be a very valuable contribution for the community.

Scope
Agriculture science encompasses a broad breadth of disciplines. Many many package in base R and contributed packages are relevant to agricultural researchers. For that reason, this is not exhaustive list of all packages useful to agriculture researchers. It is intended to cover major packages that in most cases, have been developed specifically to support agricultural research and analytical needs. We intend this as a resource for agricultural scientists and agricultural statisticians.
Our core areas encompass packages for:
Packages
We have already drafted an agricultural task view here in a git repo (although no CTV file has been prepared). The majority of these packages are on CRAN, but a few can only be found on GitHub and other alternative repositories.

Overlap
In several cases, this proposed task view references other existing task views (e.g. spatial, econometrics) when those task views were the best alternative to repeating information. There is a small amount of overlap between the agricultural databases packages in this proposed CRAN task view and Official Statistics (e.g. "cdlTools", "FAOSTAT").
In general, there does not appear to be substantial overlap with existing CRAN task views.
