Summary This post is about the surprising uses I’ve noticed and the questionsabout the censo2017 R package, a tool foraccessing the Chilean census 2017 data, I’ve gotten since it was peer-reviewedthrough rOpenSci one year ago.

In this post I will provide some examples of what has changed between rtweet 0.7.0 and rtweet 1.0.2.I hope both the changes and this guide will help all users.I highlight the most important and interesting changes in this blog post, and for a full list of changes you can consult it on the NEWS. Big breaking changes More consistent output This is probably what will affect the most users.All functions that return data about

Say you have a bug report or feature request to make to a package.How can you use information on GitHub to manage your expectations (will there be a quick fix) and actions (should you go ahead and fork the repository)?In this post, we shall go over sources of information and explain how they can be used.In the end, there is no magical recipe, except perhaps graciousness, as software is made by humans.

Anyone can contribute a software package to the rOpenSci suite as long as it fits our scope (research lifecycle software and statistical software) for a transparent, constructive, nonadversarial and open review.

Following our recent post on “Safeguards and Backups for GitHub Organizations”, nearly one month ago we went one step further and made two-factor authentication (2FA) required for all members and outside collaborators of our main organization, ropensci.It was a timely decision as GitHub since then announced it will require all users who contribute code on GitHub.com to enable one or more forms of two-factor authentication (2FA) by the end of

Most notably, the r-universe.dev landing page has been overhauled: you can now search directly for any name or keyword across the entire ecosystem: The homepage also lists the popular topics and organizations, and links to recently active packages, articles, and maintainers.

At rOpenSci, much of our code, content and infrastructure is hosted on GitHub over several organizations – described on our resources page.This post summarizes some steps we’ve taken to safeguard our GitHub organizations.Paying attention to access rights &

What is pkgcheck? The pkgcheck package hasbeen developed by rOpenSci to automate the process of checking all packages onsubmission.

The rOpenSci R-universe is a bit special as, compared to other R-universes, it builds docs for all the packages in our suite.Looking at the dashboard helps us identify failures in building the packages as well as in building the pkgdown websites.We then help authors fix these issues in order to comply with our package curation policy.As a package author you should also rely on continuous integration in your own repo for catching e.g. R CMD check
