Package for naming packages #65

Open jimhester opened 7 years ago

jimhester commented 7 years ago

Briefly started at https://github.com/jimhester/available, but might be a good thing to work on at the unconf.

Basically it would check if the package name is already taken on CRAN / Bioconductor / Omegahat or a previously archived package. Also potentially do other things like search the name on Urban Dictionary, Foreign Dictionaries, Common Acronyms, and public GitHub package names.

This would definitely be useful! Maybe even do a Google search to see what else would come up when someone is trying to find help for said package ....

cboettig commented 7 years ago

It would be awesome if it had a function to propose valid, concise package names given some keywords, but maybe that's not a realistic possibility....

There are three of us working on this package (@mllewis, @jimhester & me). We're by the Southwest windows.
