r-dev-day

Repo to organize tasks for R Dev Days.

Discussions

Use Discussions if you want to discuss and get support for ideas before creating an issue.

Issues

Use Issues to propose tasks, ideally describing the issue sufficiently for someone to get started quickly. Please use labels as described below!

Scope

Suitable tasks for the R Dev Day:

• Addressing a bug report on R's Bugzilla
• Follow-up to a discussion on the R-devel mailing list
• Developing/maintaining R Contributor infrastructure, as linked to on https://contributor.r-project.org/

Other issues with support from an R Core developer/CRAN Team member. These may be issues that you want to start working on at the R Dev Day, or contributions you are already working on that you would be happy to work on with others.

Labels

Please make good use of labels to make it easier for people to identify suitable issues. We have the following types of label

• Event-specific labels, e.g. Imperial 2024: these are issues that are recommended to people attending the corresponding event. The labels should be removed afterwards unless contributors plan to continue work in progress after the event.
• Topic, e.g. Documentation, Graphics I/O: these match the Bugzilla component and should be used even if the issue does not have a matching bug report.
• Action, e.g. discuss fix, needs diagnosis: addressing a bug usually goes through several stages, the label should reflect the next/main action that needs to be worked on at the event.
• Other, e.g. C to label issues that require knowledge of C programming.
