Thanks for this inquiry.
A colleague pointed out that RDocs is currently using depsy.com to determine the authors/collaborators of a package. For reference see here https://github.com/datacamp/rdocumentation-2.0/blob/a442a6b6de6070da46d1657c912c65b7c3422bda/pages/collaborators/name/[collaborator].tsx and here https://github.com/datacamp/RDocumentation-app/blob/master/api/controllers/CollaboratorController.js
Unfortunately Depsy is not being maintained anymore since a few years and hence information might be in accurate. We are also not immediately aware of a good alternative where we could draw information from to make sure the information on the R packages with regard to authors/collaborators is as accurate as possible.
Hope this provides a reason why, without a solution though to the problem itself though :(.
We appreciate the interest in RDocs!
Thanks Lode
Hello,
I am a Ph.D. student, and I have been working with my advisor on developing and maintaining 17 R packages on CRAN. By looking at the 17 packages on the RDocumentation.org website, we find out there are four packages missing from the author page (see below link): https://www.rdocumentation.org/collaborators/name/Hakan%20Demirtas
However, these 4 packages can be found in the RDocumentation.org directly but they are not linked to the author page like the other 13 packages: (1) https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/UnivRNG/versions/1.2.3 (2) https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/MultiRNG/versions/1.2.4 (3) https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/MultiVarMI/versions/1.0 (4) https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/RNGforGPD/versions/1.1.0
Can someone help me with a solution?
In addition, I do see myself as a maintainer, but when I click the link (https://www.rdocumentation.org/collaborators/name/Ran%20Gao), it says the page doesn't exist.
Many thanks!!
