@bastistician 👋 Given that you worked on Rd related things recently, we were wondering if you'd be interested in getting involved with this project here?
It would have been a real pleasure to meet you all in Warwick! For multiple reasons, unfortunately, my trip had failed. There is definitely room for improvement on some help pages. I had actually proposed a few such changes myself in my pre-R-core life, for example, https://bugs.r-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17365. I'm not sure how I could best help remotely now. It would be nice if we could arrange for a video call later today when I could share my thoughts on some specific proposals. Meanwhile, have fun looking at the R sources! :)
I'm also happy to look at specific proposals at some point.
Awesome, thank you both!
@bastistician Are you available after 14:00 BST (which is probably 15:00 for you)? I can email you a meeting invite with a video link. (Is Zoom good for you?)
I have committed (a version of) the proposed patch for Bug 17786 (r85031). Thanks to @MichaelChirico for the original report and patch and to @paocorrales for checking and confirming the patch.
@bastistician I just submitted a revised patch for Bug 17136. Could you take a look when you have a chance? 🌱
I submitted a patch for Bug 17933 (paste
).

The following ones have received patches that are still being reviewed by R-core (or await to be):
The sprint technically ended but I've just submitted a patch for 17770 (?xtabs)
Thank you, @paocorrales . The discussion on that will continue in R's Bugzilla now that the Sprint has ended.
@eliocamp : I have just fixed (in c85045) some of the minor doc issues you had raised in your project proposal; there is no need for PRs for these. Thanks!
https://bugs.r-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18418 would have been nice to include here as well (it's marked CLOSED
but there's still some discussion about how to improve the docs). I just posted about it to #core-documentation
, hope something fruitful can come out of it.
