Hi Richie. Thanks for cleaning up my comments and code. I was wondering about a bit of policy/approaches for this project as a result of looking at your extension to Plot x, y arrays. Given the vast number of packages in R and methods of accomplishing things do you think it is appropriate for us to list every possible way to perform a task, or should we limit ourselves (when possible) to what can be done within the base packages? For example, I could add the rgl solution to Plot X, Y arrays, but it seems like overkill to me. -Russell Pierce 19:12, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

If you don't mind me butting in, I think you should try to keep all of your examples as simple as possible. In my experience learning how to program things, if I see an example page (on any website or in documentation) that has too many different ways of doing things, I get a little turned off. Also, we've recently run into a couple of problems with pages being too large so putting "every possible way" may actually create problems for the site if it's not done properly. --Mwn3d 19:19, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
