#RStats challenge and potential community project:
* Create a minimal package 'dumpsterfire' that triggers as many 'R CMD check' issues as possible!
Fun, but could also become a excellent resource for illustrating and understanding package check issues
Here's a start: https://github.com/HenrikBengtsson/dumpsterfire
@henrikbengtsson I had a similar idea a while back and made it into a way for new users to get used to submitting pull requests that fix these sorts of issues: https://jcarroll.com.au/2024/10/01/a-safe-space-for-learning-how-to-make-pull-requests/
Repo: https://github.com/jonocarroll/safespace
Could go hand-in-hand with dumpsterfire - intentionally implementing things that need to be fixed.
As October rolls around once more, the term Hacktoberfest might pop across your feeds; an effort aiming to encourage people to contribute to open-source software, particularly if they’re new to that. In this post I’ll describe what I’m offering towards that goal.
