Just to be clear: The point is that the developer site was never
intended as being complete and polished, and nobody wants to commit to
making it so. It was set up for things like preliminary white papers
which were too large to handle as part of regular email traffic within
R Core, plus some items that we kept needing to remind ourselves
(and some others) about. It is open to the public, but it is not a
service.
