R-Ladies Denver Relaunch: fusen, litr, and readme2pkg discussion
Details
Denver RLadies is rebooting! Our upcoming hybrid meeting will focus on new tools that take a ‘literate programming’ approach to package building.
As more people get into R package development, some have noticed that the ‘package story’ can get lost. R packages are composed of many files. But these multiple, un-ordered constituents may yield an unclear big-picture package narrative.
Our meeting will bring together like-minded thinkers and tool creators in this space, authors of the {litr}, {fusen}, and {readme2pkg} packages. Each of these tools is motivated by keeping the package creation narrative in one place (an Rmarkdown file). But implementations are different. Our meeting will allow for a comparative look at these approaches and illuminate similarities and differences.
Presenters:
Gina Reynolds: {readme2pkg}
Jacob Bien: {litr}
Sébastien Rochette: {fusen}
