Recommendation: pkgdown website

[andybeet]

Without meaning to overstep any boundaries, i think the pkgdown R package would really enhance the reach, useabililty, and readability of your package. pkgdown will convert all of your function and data documentation into a nice looking website, in addition to whole host of other things.

Currently there is a lot of content in the readme which could be relocated within the R package to be nicely converted into pages on a website.

You'd get:

• Function documentation
• Data documentation
• An avenue to showcase vignettes (rmarkdown) to help explain package useage (much of the content in the readme)
• links to contributors
• package version etc.

You can build it all locally first to test it out before deploying it to gh-pages branch.

Thanks Andy. I will check this out, it sounds great. I did not see your issue until now, sorry for the tardiness.

The ICES paper describing the package is now available:
