Add stars to repos? about awesome-r

Thanks!

Maybe a travis-ci scripts to check the stars count? And the scripts can create a pull request for the modification.

For the second part, I think that we do not need to link every package to CRAN for now. Sometimes, package GitHub page or their own package page will have more information.

uh... I don't do travis-ci (yet). If you wanna go that route, it's all you bro! That would be better... I was just going to write a script in R to scrape them and then push it together w/ the readme and we could run that every so often... travis-ci would be cleaner... but do you have to manually write every package in the travis-ci script?

I use travis-ci to check dead links in rweekly.org:

https://github.com/rweekly/rweekly.org/blob/gh-pages/.travis.yml

https://github.com/rweekly/rweekly.org/blob/gh-pages/check_url.R

You can look at the result of each push at https://travis-ci.org/rweekly/rweekly.org/

Oh perfect! So basically I CAN just write an R script that crawls that list, grabs github stars and pushes it back to the readme, then we simply add that script to travis? That's pretty cool!!

I was thinking should we do like one star PER 400 stars? So if something has 2000 GH stars it would get 5 stars? that might be confusing, huh? Maybe just a star or not if >400?

Maybe one star is enough, and it will be easier to read.

OK perfect. Can you "assign" this to me and I'll try to get it done this
weekend or next week? Thanks!

OK, the script is completed... but I don't know how to setwd() so that it saves the modified README.md into the correct folder... I have no idea what the working directory is for travis-ci. But see if you like the results?

Oh yeah, some stars are also coming out as double... don't know why and don't care so much... you? :D

Thanks, you can create a pull request with the R scripts, and keep the README unchanged, I will add some more thing about travis and other stuff later.

For each travis run, if there are some items will be changed by travis, I think about using the GitHub APIs to create pull request to change the README, instead of a direct push to the master branch.
