rforcats's Issues

website down

https://rforcats.net/ is returning 404

consider the devel version of knitr and collapse=TRUE

The new chunk option collapse=TRUE might be better for index.Rmd, since your examples are normally short; the input and output blocks can be merged into a single block. That is what adv-r does.

Another small item... Quotes.

Single or double quotes?

They are both used throughout. Might be a source of confusion for many cats.

Any opinions on one way or the other?

I can make the changes and submit a PR, but want to do it the right way!

Cat Names Wikipedia Page

Hi,

It looks like the Wikipedia page has been updated. There is no longer a table under Cultural references to the naming of cats. When I did the tutorial I just substituted the table for Australian cat names, but I could see how this could be confusing to other users.

Anyway, thanks for a great tutorial! It really helped me out.

Thanks,

Chloe

The link to Hadley's devtools is broken.

In the "Using Packages" section, the link is to https://github/com/hadley/devtools but should be to https://github.com/hadley/devtools.

Language about dogs is exclusionary

How are dogs supposed to become part of the R community when they are bombarded with language like

## [1] "dalmations are dumb" "retrievers are dumb" "poodles are dumb"

?

Add code of conduct

Install and opening R for the first time instructions?

The first instructions are to open R, but many cats (and novice users) might have an even more basic question...

> How do I get R and how do I open it?

Any interest in adding some more basic instructions on this? Are they in there already and I just missed it?

place kitten

richfitz suggested http://placekitten.com/, incorporate somehow

R is clearly for dogs

who ever heard of a cat growling Rrr?
