1 year ago we could do better on this!
There's a table to this effect on the project website: https://rocker-project.org/images/#the-versioned-stack
Initially the stack was purely linear: r-ver, rstudio, tidyverse, verse, geospatial.
(traditionally, 'verse' meant additional publishing-related things on tidyverse, largely latex/rmarkdown related, but has always served as a bit of a catch-all for 'extras' without a clear home. other names are more intuitive).
We've made the stack more modular, allowing users to re-mix docker containers with any of these building blocks as defined by https://github.com/rocker-org/rocker-versioned2/tree/master/scripts, and we use this mechanism to make other flavors, including the cuda/ml/ml-verse stack and the shiny / shiny-verse stack (where the 'verse' prefix is used somewhat loosely there, see Dockerfiles for details).
We're an entirely community-driven, community-maintained project, PRs on the website or README or other docs locations are more than welcome!!

Question
Hi, Thanks for your work in easing the use of the R environment.
As a noob, I don't understand all the dependencies in this repo, especially the naming, but I think I found my way. Nevertheles, I think it could be helpful to have such a summary:
shiny-verse = shiny + tidyverse = (r+shiny) + tidyverse
tidyverse = rstudio + tidyverse = (r+rstudio+pandoc+quarto) + tidyverse
verse = ...
In the end, quarto requires an explicit installation for use in shiny or shiny-verse, IIUC, what I am going to test.
Best.
