Subject: [Rd] Milestone: 2000 packages on CRAN
Message-ID: <59d7961d0910042303u444aca81uaa1781007f181bd8@mail.gmail.com>

Today, 2009-10-04, from http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/

"Currently, the CRAN package repository features 1997 objects
including 1993 packages and 4 bundles containing 15 packages, for a
total of 2008 available packages."

It was 1.5 years ago (2007-04-12) we were at 1000 packages, cf.

  https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2007-April/045359.html

>From my previous in-house statistics there were ~500 packages in Oct
2004, and ~250 in April 2003.

So, roughly, the number of packages doubles every 18 months.
