Welcome to the R Language Collective
This is a space for users who are focused on R content on Stack Overflow.
If you join the collective, you’ll be ranked on the leaderboard based on your reputation within the tags that comprise this collective.

Criteria for becoming a Recognized Member is:
Active in the collective’s tags in the last 18 months (measured as 20+ upvoted answers)
No suspensions or problematic behavior in the last 18 months
r gold tag badge

Civic Duty badge (300 votes)
Reviewer badge (Complete at least 250 review tasks)
Proofreader badge (Approve or reject 100 suggested edits)

If you are interested in taking on a role in the collective, please reach out to Stack Overflow using the contact form.
Potential projects we are discussing:
- Tag cleanup, notably questions tagged with one of the smaller R-related tags but not r itself
- Developing a standard message for authors of off-topic questions, guiding them to the appropriate Stack Exchange site. For example, many r + statistics questions may be better for Cross Validated.
- Discussing how to help askers and potential askers on the subject of web scraping
- Establishing tag warnings for some of the tags in the collective
Input and ideas are encouraged. Find related conversations on Meta via the tag r-collective
